I hope we're out a long time before June 2012. < :-)

There's just no easy ride for you guys is there. The sand is sinking quicker than ever in Iraq. Sarge, still no steels? No surprise there then. That says everything.

"The sand is sinking quicker than ever in Iraq"

I see some people haven't been keeping up with current events.

I see those that preach from their pulpit still have no belief, still only paint an apparition of conviction, still have no steels to take a bet on a supposed truth they’d have us all believe. Current events are there on the streets of Iraq, right now. LIVE feed baby!

Moqtada al-Sadr: The "Wile E. Coyote" of East Baghdad! (Or should that be the Road Runner?)

Actually al-Sadr I trust more than al-Maliki. Least I know which side of the AK I stand with him. Al-Maliki is a tad like Chalabi, never sure who's listening to what was said in private.

What no open arms, rose peddles at the feet, trumpets of salvation. What were them Iraqis thinking.

Sarge,

What do you think it says that al-Sadr is living in Iran? If it says a lot, I'm sure you won't have any trouble with an answer.

One thing that it says to me is that perhaps he fears becoming victim of a purposeful mistake. Or perhaps his followers fear that. Perhaps he wants to spare Iraq the violence that would break loose if he were to become such a victim.

I don't think it says a lot that al-Sadr is in Iran. But these are some of the things it might say. I'm sure you can add to this.

rjd jr - Looks like we're going to be bringing the troops home in about three more years, with honor. No thanks to Obama, who would have brought them home in disgrace, no, wait, he was in favor of leaving Saddam in power.

50,000!

"The demonstrators marched from the main Shiite district of Sadr City to the more central Mustansiriyah Square in eastern Baghdad."

Any marches of this magnitude when Saddam Hussein was in power?

Didn't think so...

What kills me is that this Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is still with the living. This dude should have been pushing up daisies a long time ago. But what do you expect from this Administration.

This guy and his men have killed many Americans and the only thing this guy deserves is some lead....Also on my wish list is Chalabi.....But again this Administration prefers to pay off rather than take care of business.
