When did one of the resident Bushbots hijack your account?Originally posted by: Aimster
I do have a visible plan.
marines send them in and whoop ass. & if that is going to cause too many deaths for the U.S to handle then start going to their homes at night and kidnaped members. Nobody will know what happened to them.
It is widely believed that the militia has been behind numerous mass kidnappings inside Iraq.

All the talk about Iraq being the central front in the war on terror is a completely false representation of the violence going on in Iraq.

Not for the squeamish but shows that Baghdad, if not all of Iraq, is truly in a full-on civil war.
You want to "whoop ass"? You would support, say, CIA-trained, US puppet and Negroponte clone Allawi back in power to slaughter maybe a hundred thousand or more people?
July/Aug already saw over 6500 murdered brutally in the civil war.
The US presence in Iraq is pointless anymore as the Mahdi Army/Badr Brigade control Iraq and fight against Sunni insurgents.
Unfortunately, Iraq is a no-win scenario whose only course of action is to sit back and watch carnage unfold.

Our biggest failure in Iraq as far as I am concerned. This guy should have been taken out in spring of 04 but we appeased him and look what we got. Like all appeasements it came to bite us right in the ass.

Sounds like armchair quarterbacking to me. The spring of '04 was a little busy for the forces at hand at a place called Fallujah, if I recall. There were also battles fought with the Shiite militias about that time. In order to free up enough US troops to attack Fallujah after it had been abandoned, the Brits had to loan a brigade to bolster Baghdad.
The single largest mistake was invading Iraq and not planning for the worst. The worst has happened.
Muqtada al Sadr leads a very large and well equipped force. Fallujah was a small town by comparison to other cities in Iraq that have never been quelled. The Anbar province has to be neglected in order to attempt to secure Baghdad.
You have already forgotten the history of this war. And, it ain't over yet.
Yes, the former of that bolded statement is true. But I cannot fully agree with the latter portion. al-Sadr is thought to have anywhere from 1 million to 4 million followers. Taking him out is like taking out an "Al Qaeda #2". Plenty lying in wait to fill his shoes. But, there is a possibility, however remote, that a more moderate #2 lies somewhere down the line. But how long do we drag this out to find out? And why does the US even have to be involved in this? It's purely an internal struggle.Originally posted by: Genx87
I think you forgot we drove up twice to his mosque fighting his militia along the way only to turn away. I said at the time not taking him out was a mistake and it is still proving over and over what a mistake it was. Armchair generals like yourself were scared shatless of making him into a martyr. Martyrs dont speak much from the grave, ask Al Zarqawi how his new gig is working out for him after a pair of 500s dropped on his head and allied troops watched him die like the animal he is.Originally posted by: TRUMPHENT
