#1 Yeah, yeah. It's an outrageous claim. But I found that I couldn't bother to slog through the article. That's bad news for our enemies who rely soley on propaganda rather than strength or right of cause. Blah, Blah..."occupation". Why should I waste my time pondering the meaningless claims of compulsive liars?

#2 The Mahdi Army must be hurting big time. This is what they see as their trump card.

#3 800 civilians dead? Show us the bodies. Can't do it? Well, how about 80? Still can't do? Then surely you can come up with 1%, 8 innocent bodies. And who are these members of parliament. Name us a few. Ah shucks, just kidding yuz guys. I'm really one of the MSM boyz and I wouldn't doubt your word. Not for a minute. Nope, not even a minute.

#4 The agenda of the reporter is totally given away by the fact that halfway through the article, instead of calling the area "Sadr City", he begins to refer to it as "Saddam City". Another lying Baathist POS trying to turn a victory into a defeat. May he be infected with 30 unknown diseases that cause boils, an itching rash, and super-sensitive skin.

#5 If Saddam had used conventional bombs, then there would be a comparison. America is using the rules of engagement and following the Geneva Convention, which is like 1 hand behind our back.

#6 Excellent points made in #3 by JS. Accuse reporters of incompetence.

#7 Sounds like Iraqi MPs taking lessons from Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
