#3 Is it true Osama's in Iran and had plastic surgery that makes him look like a 6'-5" RuPaul in a Burqa?

#4 Yes, at least as of October 2003, yes, and not sure.

#6 Tater should do his flip-flopping at the end of a rope.
The Tater-tots might have learned the hard way that the Iraqi forces are tougher than they thought and they may well have more permissive rules of engagement ROE than the Americans. This could be a factor in Tater's sudden retreat.

#7 disturbing visual...

Don't worry, I'm sure .com has a picture that will cause us all to gouge out our eyeballs.

#8 Well, Steve, some think he's dead. But insiders know he survived and had rather radical plastic surgery. Some think he went on the offensive or is biding his time building up expertise, while others say he stayed close to home in this diabolically clever disguise. But those of the inner circle know the truth - he's hanging out in Bavaria and waiting for Oktoberfest. So there you have it, and now I'll have to kill you. :-)

#9 Dang .com you are one motivated individual! All praise to Allan (piss be upon him) that you are on our side. I've reserved judgement on the great Spud in regards to what service he might provide. At this point, grease the mook....be done with it. NEXT!

#10 RexM - It took me awhile to find something to work with - but here's a first pass. I'll do better when I locate better raw material!

#11 "...called for a national uprising against American and allied troops Thursday morning, then backed off near midnight after a day of fighting..."
1. The man is delusional.
2. The man flip-flops faster than Kerry. Well, maybe not.
3. I'm sure that if Kerry wins, Kerry will sit down with him and form an enduring alliance of peace. Peace in our time.

#12 Al Sadr: One Global Hawk=>Hellfire, one kill.

#13 This may be a dumb conjecture because it is so simple, but it seems that Tater is getting frisky because al Sistani is preoccupied with ticker issues. Allawi needs to call up for Tater Take-Out and be done with the problem. Tater may be delusional and a pain in the behind, but he will always be a thorn in the side and mobilizing fighters like he does is a direct threat to the Iraqi government's authority and survival, IMHO.

#14 Just heard on FOX that 3 Americans have been killed in Najaf and 300 of Tater's men are now collecting their white raisins.

#16 IIRC the last time we were fighting the Mahdi "army" al-Sistani was criticizing us and pushing for a cease fire. Now that he's out of the country perhaps he will be too preoccupied to intervene on al-Sadr's behalf. Particularly since the Iraqi forces seem to be fighting against Sadr's people this could be significant.

#17 Sadr flip-flops on violence in Iraq

We prefer to call it "nuance".
