#1 It will be interesting to see if any more cannon fodder are willing to follow Muqky.

Unless he can provoke a decent sized riot, he will lose face - again.

#2 ...Interestingly enough, FNC is reporting as of 1310 EST that US air strikes are being conducted in Fallujah.

#4 Latest news is that Sadr said his resistance will be non violent.

I guess he'll be sending faxes and attending city council meetings.

#5 Hmmmmm. This isn't more bait is it?

The ROE has made a stand-up fight impossible - we don't go into ~~ammo dumps~~ moskkks after rats. Now that the Iraqis are in charge of their own destiny, we'll hold the checkpoints outside of the towns, and it will be up to the Iraqis do the clean-up inside as their Police & Army numbers grow. Not perfect, but that's the game available. Don't let the little turd Tater bait you into a no-win situation.

On a broader note... If the Iraqis want Rule of Law, they will eventually rise to the occasion. Between our declaration in 1776 and the actuality beginning in 1789, a lot of shit happened here, too. Patience - we will operate within reality and deal with the shit as it comes. They will make their own version - and adjust their sights as they figure it out.

#6 Time for the Iraqis to stomp on that cockroach.

Let us know if you need any air strikes, guys...

#7 This is nothing more than an Iraqi version of plea barganing. Its the only "political" leverage he has that is personal. We missed our chance to ordain him into the martyrdom hall of fame and now Allawi and his ilk have to find a way to deal with him by giving him his life!

#8 Sadr's continuing theft of oxygen is just plain criminal. Iraq's interim government should have gotten Sadr's latest message loud and clear. If Sadr refuses to distinguish between American occupying forces and Iraq's own legitimate police and military, then there has been an effective declaration of war.

If Allawi is unwilling or unable to mark out Sadr's seditious intent as the threat it is, then he will walk into the insurgents' crosshairs like he deserves. Fortunately, it appears that Allawi may have purchased a clue. The proposed ~~get out of jail free~~ "amnesty" has been suspended indefinitely. This shows great good sense on Allawi's part.

With hardcore scumball maggots like these, bootheel first, then the olive branch.
