| Posted @ Instapundit I was present today when an Iraqi General was arrested on suspicion of murder and other crimes. The American commander, LTC Doug Crissman, narrowly averted a possible bloodbath today when he intervened, without orders from above, and arrested the General. The General was with 14 heavily armed men. I was a few feet away and snapped a photo of Crissman and the Iraqi General only seconds before Crissman silently grabbed the General's pistol out of his holster. Crissman's men had silently disarmed the other 14 men who were all around the building. The General was clueless. Incredible, and brilliantly executed by LTC Crissman. More in a couple of days. (I got it all on video/photo.) |

| #7 Al-Maliki ought to be the next one into irons. This whole charade is rapidly spiraling into a laughingstock. Word, WE. Sadly, due to ridiculous constraints placed upon our troops, this is a laughingstock we must currently endure. Let Iraq be the last of such nonsense. America must declare the era of nation building to be over once and for all time. From now on it is a matter of military intervention with little or no boots on the ground. We must smash our enemies unrepentantly and just as heartlessly force them to pick up the pieces on their own. So long as Muslim majority nations seek to do America harm, it is our obligation to dismantle their tyrannical governments at every turn. Remember, TYRANNIES HAVE NO SOVEREIGN RIGHTS. There is no respect due to fascists like Assad, Mugabe, Ahmadinejad and their ilk. They deserve nothing more than the noose or a bullet to the brain. Much the same goes for Islam. This violent political ideology must be catastrophically disassembled through killing its upper eschalons of clerical aristocracy. Certain infrastructure such as al-Hazar University and other indoctrination centers may well require demolition as well. Finally, as a last resort, punative measures such as the destruction of Qom, Medina or Mecca might be needed too. We must gradually escalate up through these measures making sure to let each tier of them work its effect. There must be no undue haste, BUT THERE MUST BE IMMEDIATE PROGRESS. This is not happening and there await horrible consequences for such inaction. The sooner we begin to eradicate the tyrants and jihadists, the fewer lives that will be lost to the grim final alternative of nuclear holocaust. |

| #6 How did he get to be a general so soon ? I assume our leadership has been watching the higher Iraqis all along. If not, they will now. |

| #3 We turned over control way, way too early. But that was Bush again listening to the people who want him to fail. Sigh. |

| #1 Now if Maliki or Mookie don't insist he be released immediately, we might be on to something here. |
