#1 How can anyone make the judgement that the 'Sadr City operation' is successful? I hear reports that the Shia militia just moved out of Baghdad. Assuming these reports are correct, don't they simply return when US forces pull back?

#2 Just for argument's sake, imagine a U. S. Senator leaving the U. S. and taking p residence in London but demanding he still retain his Senate seat and claiming to represent his constituents. Sadr is a tool of the Iranian Imams and needs to be eliminated. We had the chance but politcal "concerns" got in the way. He should never be allowed back on to Iraq.

#3 "He should never be allowed back on to Iraq."

Maybe in a pine box, but definitely not until the bubbles stop coming up. I regret to say that our lessons with this slimeball have left us Sadr but wiser.

#5 RD, you need to employ your deductive processes once a while. ;-)

I know, you may have as little time as I have, and tend to skip the "fine print". The actual editor was one Saad Albazaz.

Poor Sherry is just a messenger (RB poster).

#6 Either that, twobyfour, or RD forgot to type that comma between rapporteur and Sherry, again. ;-)
