| Sadr. Dies. Now. |

| EFL for lunacy: An influential Shiite cleric in Najaf, Iraq, announced his support Friday for two of Israel’s biggest enemies -- the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Lebanon-based Hezbollah. "They can consider me their striking hand in Iraq whenever there is a necessity and whenever there is a need," Moqtada al-Sadr said in a sermon at Al Kufa mosque. Only to make possibly THE most asinine comment of the year: Al-Sadr said that even though Yassin "has killed a large number of people this does not justify the way he was brutally murdered." And then completely lose touch with reality: Al-Sadr also referred to the U.N. Security Council’s failure to issue a resolution condemning the attack, saying, "this proves that all it is, is a tool in the hands of America." |

| #11 The Kurds have their own troubles. This is our problem. I'd be more likely to trust a Kurd to help out than I would a Shiite. |

| #8 If we're so damned anxious to "win hearts and minds" over there and be even-handed with the various Iraqi factions & sects that we blind ourselves to the menace this guy poses, then this whole "Iraqi Democracy Initiative" is a complete waste of time and American lives. Go in there, grab this clown and drag him away, never to be seen or heard from again. |

| #7 The gloves are off. Who's your buddie, who's your pal. The Kurds have their own troubles. This is our problem. |

| #6 Sadr obviously aspires to become the Shiite Arafat. Surely prior to that, we can arrange a "work accident" that will speed him on his way to collect his 72 raisins. If we were really good, the accident would include an honor guard from his "Mahdi's Army" to serve him in Paradise. |

| #5 [...cue Murat's blather about the Kurds...] Sadr is vying for the Golden Smoldering Wheelchair Award. Let's help him along. Otherwise this becomes Iran-lite. |

| #4 Rafael, I like it! It there were any justice in the world & a God in heaven, then we should give the Kurds all of Iraq. Just give them the weapons they want, hand over the keys simply walk away with a....smile. Best Wishes, |

| #1 I'd hire a Kurd to drive a truck packed to the roof with explosives and park it in the vicinity of Al-Sadr's home. Get out, take a little walk, and 5 minutes later, BOOM. |
