#1 I hope this means the day after the election we take down the Mahdi Army and the collateral damage includes the entire Tater crop. Bush may not be able to deal with Iran before he leaves office, but he's got no excuse for not mashing the Tater.

Sadly not going to happen. Fox News reports the Iraqi PM has ordered the blockade lifted. And we're idioticly listening to him.

#3 The good news this morning is that Maliklik ordered the dismantling of all barricades in/out of Sadr City. Guess maybe the Tater threatened him or his family. Or maybe he stands right alongside Tater & his Tots all along. If that's the case, there's no end to problems until all Sunnis are disposed of.

PM {al-Maliki} orders move at time of tension with U.S."

#7 Next time Sadr surfaces should be his last. Just make sure he is terminated with a 7.62mm round for plausible deniability.

#8 Just make sure he is terminated with a 7.62mm round for plausible deniability.

So, would that be the 7.62x39mm or the 7.62x51mm?

#10 don't matyter they will both kill you

Actually, it does "matyter", one is an AK-47 round and plausibly deniable, the other is not. True enough though, they'll both do the job.

#11 Next time we should just bomb Sadr and blame the Iranians. Say Sadr wasn't following Persian orders and the Iranians were pissed. This would remove Sadr and put the remains of his army in an uncomfortable position regarding Iranian relations.
