  He's just defending his Iraq against an occuping force.

  But Sarge says, "Oh Sadr, just surrender."

  I guess if we were being occupied, Sarge would just give up.

  adaydream - "He's just defending his Iraq"

  Last time I checked, Sadr's group didn't win any elections, though Maliki's group did. So it's not his Iraq, though I'm sure he would like it to be.

  "against an ( occupying ) force"

  Funny how most Iraqis want the "occupying" forces to stay until the Iraqi security forces are capable of taking over.

  Not quite, seems like many Iraqi's want American forces to leave immediately:

  Sarge - "That poll is BS."

  That's exactly what you would think if your read and believe White House press releases.

  Sarge, sensible Americans didn't vote for the continual slaughter of their sons and daughters 5 long years after the President declared 'Mission Accomplished!' way back in those hazy near forgotton days of May 2003.

  My question for you is: Why do you continue to support your future Social Security payments being burnt up in Iraq, a war that is doing squat all to benefit Americans?

  I think most people get the picture. US is not doing very well if their plan is to bring stability. I do not think it is in the interests of the White House to have stability as stability means less weapons needed and less hi security contractor jobs, stable oil prizes. This war is a success for Bush and his friends who are cashing in the profits of the war. However for the average American they are not cashing in the profits and their country is heading towards bankrrupcy.

  Other winners of this war is

  1. Iran
  2. Moqtada al-Sadr
  3. Al-Qaeda
  4. Samuel Huntington (for his "clash of civilizations" thesis)
  5. China
  6. Arab Dictators
  7. The Price of Oil (and not from a western consumer standpoint)
  8. The United Nations
  9. Old Europe
  10. Israel

  "Other winners of this war... Arab dictators"

  Yeah? How many Arab dictators are better off since the liberation of Iraq?

  "This war is a success for Bush and his friends who are cashing in the profits of the war."

  Who? Who is cashing in? Halliburton? It's publicly traded. If Lefties and "pacifists" are so clever how come they can never back up the vague and changeable accusations that they make into slogans?

  " No Blood for Oil !"

  Still wear the cheesy t-shirt emblazoned with that one?

  The Mahdi Army is getting routed. More disappointment for the anti-liberation crowd.

  "Mahdi Army Fades Away"

  "April 28 , 2008: After a month of fighting, the Mahdi Army has disappeared from the streets of Basra, the largest city in the south. The army and police are everywhere, and people are providing information on where Mahdi Army personnel are hiding out, and the locations of their weapons caches. Up north, in the Sadr City section of east Baghdad, the Mahdi Army is still fighting hard. But the army and police have the upper hand, and are pushing the Shia militiamen back block by block. Mahdi Army leader Muqtada al Sadr has responded by threatening to order his men to go after American troops if the government does not back off. That's won't work, because the Mahdi Army is not particularly skillful, and not very united either. He recently ordered his troops to stop fighting Iraqi soldiers and police, and concentrate on the Americans. The Iraqi security forces have not reciprocated, and continue coming after the Mahdi Army.

  "The dozen or so factions of the Mahdi Army vary in their loyalty to Sadr, or to political solutions. Several of the Mahdi Army factions are basically criminal gangs masquerading as religious zealots. Sadr denies he is a pawn of Iran, but as Mahdi Army houses are captured, more Iranian weapons and equipment show up, as well as religious propaganda from Iran. "

  They will submit. Sooner or later the Sadr Militia will either submit or die.

  The Iraqi government, bolstered by the US, will kill every damn person who does not submit to the US.

  More deaths.

  Hundreds, maybe thousands more dead in the latest escalation in violence, and some fools on JT are still braying about some imaginary "liberation"?

  The only bad thing about the upcoming and let´s face it, desperately needed enema in the Whitehouse is that dubya won´t be taking the few remaining, heart-broken and estrogenized members still amazingly loyal to the sect with him when he bogs of back to Texus with his uhm, heh, "legacy"!

  redacted;

  If you´re reduced to the level of having a cut´n paste war with lunch using his own sources, heh, then I´d suggest your flailing cause is in serious Barney Rubble.

  Uhm, heh, jambon,

  You were calling for the Iraqi resistance to "Bring.It.On", what, only a few days ago...?

  Looks like your hollow, armchair bravado cost the lives of more American troops. With "patriots" like you guys, heh, al-Qaida can take early retirement claiming "Mission Accomplished"!
