thats what we did to an area every time we were IED'ed there. IEDs didnt stop.ATG wrote:
I suggest we do in Iraq what we did in Germany in regards to ' partisans '. When a sniper would fire on U.S. forces in Germany we would give the village or sector 24 hours to hand them over. If they didn't we mortared their asses until they did.
I guess my question is this then: do you think the reason we haven't killed him is because he's mostly useless anyway?GunSlinger OIF II wrote:
I was addressing turq. Sadr has his position simply because of his father. The fact that Sadr reached a certain age and missed his opportunity to do some kind of religious schooling (something like that) means he cant get higher up the religious chain of command. the only hope he has is using his religious role to propel him further politically. He is using his fathers name and now his reputation as a resister to command his followers. A large number of the mahdis dont even recognize his authority anymore. every time it gets bad for him, he waves the white flag. I hate the mahdis and I would love for sadr to be dead. he is the only one of the major players left alive from my deployment years ago.
With the way you describe him, he doesn't actually sound like that much of a threat. In fact, it basically just sounds like he's an Iranian patsy.

where do you think the militias get their money and weapons from? the shiites werent really a part of the military class in iraq. they were conscripts for the most part.
I would rather nuke Iran than have our country spend ten years effing around and one day have to send my son there.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

Fuck.
'Em.
I would rather let Iran be burdened by Iraq than have us be that way. This is why withdrawal is still my preference. Let Iran fuck itself, because we've taken too much damage already.ATG wrote:
