#1 Al-Qaeda meeting? I thought this was the Shriner's convention. I must have walked into the wrong banquet hall.

#2 Now, if he was an American pol, he could say he was running his own "sting operation". Probably could get away with it...if he was a Democrat.

#3 So the Al Qaeda meeting was at a funeral? Makes sense - lots of opportunities these days. Where better to elect the new emir than at the funeral of the emir who just got snuffed?

#9 squeeze him like a zit, until he pops and drain all the info from him, then string him up.

#10 Hey, these people invented back-stabbing and double-dealing. Why the surprise? We knew they were in the Parliament, we just didn't know who, specifically.

And this guy ain't the only one, guaranteed.

#11 And this guy ain't the only one, guaranteed.

Iraq's "government" is so thoroughly compromised as to make our 14% approved leaders look like paragons of true statesmanship. From al-Maliki, all the way down, we need to disband Iraq's government and either hold new elections—with stringent vetting of every candidate—or replace their entire shitpot-of-a-parliament with an iron-fisted military dictatorship. No matter what, such an opportunity must be used to rectify one of our most dire mistakes by excising all shari'a law from Iraq's constitution.

#12 Zen - wouldn't that fly in the face of democracy and nations building?

Please limit your response to 25 words or less. (;->

#13 Zen has a point but at the same time, that can backfire as much as Iraq or Pakistan has. It'll take years for democracy to take effect.

Please limit your posts. (;-> ^_^

#14 All Muslims are jihadis, in some form. That is one reason why I favored liquidating Iraq terrorists prior to implementing political reforms.

#16 wouldn't that fly in the face of democracy and nations building?

Ummm ... no. Nations are not built around thugocracies. Democracy cannot coexist with shari'a law. Any questions?

A far better and more viable plan, McZ.

#17 Bobby, you asked, I answered. ANY QUESTIONS? Do you really think that American nation building can embrace shari'a law and its usual thugocracies?

#18 Bobby was just teasing, Zenster. You generally are quite thorough in your serious posts. He could easily have said the same to me, but I only just got to this thread. (It's been a very interrupted kind of day, for some reason. I've had a cup of tea waiting so long it's tepid.)

#20 Given traitors like Baghdad Jim McDermott and others in our own congress, I am not surprised at collaborators in theirs.

Which of them had their (historic) way paved first?

#22 There are definatley more moles. Someone is giving away the locations of some of those convoys. Every Sunni probably has former Bathe breathing down there necks while Al-Duri is safely providing logisitics in Syria. I'm glad the Iraqi special forces are completing more missions so we can leave this shit hole and go after some terrorist leadership.

#23 Zenster WE insist, please elaborate some more, 20 inches to three feet per column per comment will just barely allow an intelect such as yours to expound on the topic... and if needed use another 2 or 3 shots at the topic please.

And ask as many short questions of commenters so that they may feel the butter, OK!

No one here has your keen insight afterall so please, please indulge yourself.
