Enough Already

Sadr's Men Hold Iraq Shrine in Defiance of Govt

"NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - Fighters loyal to rebel cleric Iranian puppet Moqtada al-Sadr were firmly in control of Najaf's Imam Ali mosque on Saturday, defying efforts by Iraq (news - web sites)'s U.S.-backed government to end a radical Shi'ite rebellion."

Why exactly is this oxygen bandit still running around? Didn't we already see this play from Saddam Hussein? "I'll comply, honest." followed by a "Uh, nah, nevermind." to be followed by an "I'll comply, honest." Just take this fat bastard out already.

Meanwhile, on the planet of the delusional.

"Bring those Americans here to fight hand to hand," said one militant, biting his finger for emphasis. "They are cowards. They stay thousands of feet away in their airplanes. They are scared, they know we will slaughter them."

This from one of the Brave Insurgents™ that hole up in holy shrines knowing full well that America's touchy-feely policy is the only thing that's keeping them alive while they take potshots at our troops? Please. This fool would have about as much chance as a buffet coming up against Oprah after pulling jury duty.

Kill his ass last.

Meanwhile in Hilla

"One Polish soldier was killed and six wounded on Saturday when a booby-trapped car exploded next to their convoy near the town of Hilla, an army spokesman said.

The soldier's death brings the number of Polish fatalities in Iraq to 14 since Poland took charge of the 8,000-strong multinational force in south-central Iraq last September."

First off, my heart goes out to the family of the Polish soldier and I wish his comrades a speedy recovery. Secondly, is booby-trapping cars an act of bravery occording to the above mentioned finger-biting asshat? Thirdly, how is this even possible? Aren't we there alone? Without allies? Unilaterally? That's all I hear the detracters bleating about. So surely this must have been Polish-Americans and not actualy Poles that were attacked, right?
