In Basra, Iraqi government forces have taken control of the "last bastions of the cleric Moktada al-Sadr’s militia." In Baghdad, too, government troops killed militants presumably loyal to Sadr in Sadr City.
In response to this string of setbacks, Sadr, the courageous cleric who is believed to be holed up somewhere in Iran, issued a "final warning" to the Iraqi government: give up, or else! Astonishingly, the "mainstream" press, which has mis-reported the current clashes between government and Sadrist troops from the beginning, reported Sadr's threat straight.
Sadr's "final warning" struck me more as parody. It reminds me of something, but I can't quite think what. Oh yes, this is it:

Shouldn't this headline be "Yankee Go Home!"? This is dual-pronged article, the headliner being glaringly short.
No matter.

Liberation? Thise causes one to ponder what Mookie's relationship was with Saddam Hussein.
Maybe he means "until liberalism."

Why aren't the "Palestinians" doing something proactive such as destroying Hamas and Fatah, setting aside their pride and emulating Israel's successes and creating a bonafide (secular) government that is recognized by free countries around the world?

More than 4 in five U.S. tropps do not have mental problems after war service.
This is a George Soros-funded "study" to head the U.S. into socialist health coverage which has proven not to work in Canada, Great Britain and other advanced, modern countries.
Why won't the marxists give it up?

The great thinker Ernest van den Haag brilliantly made the case for execution as deterrence: Imagine if a state announced that murders committed Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays would be punishable by execution and murders committed the other days of the week would be punishable by imprisonment. Would murder rates remain the same as they are now on all the days of the week? I doubt it.

Finally, in a given year, nearly 17,000 agencies contribute data to the FBI; however, because of computer problems, changes in record management systems, personnel shortages, or a number of other reasons, some agencies cannot provide data for publication. The FBI appreciates the conscientious efforts made by law enforcement personnel throughout the nation to report accurate and reliable crime data. Their efforts make it possible for the FBI to provide assessments of the nature and type of crime in the United States.

Name for us the last time this happened in the U.S. Tell us what year it was.
It is the absence of the death penalty that leads to more innocent people being killed. When there is no death penalty, convicted murderers kill other prisoners and guards; and, when these murderers escape, they kill innocent civilians.

The Left has difficulty dealing with evil and therefore refuses to differentiate between murder and killing.

We must kill murderers so they cannot murder again (and yet again in prison).
The primary purpose of capital punishment is not deterrence. It is to prevent the greatest conceivable injustice -- allowing a person who deliberately takes an innocent person's life to keep his own.

Yes, in casualties and not at all what they planned for, to be sure.
