#1 John Loftus on ABC radio sez Tater's back home, living in his Mom's basement. Heh.

#2 "They didn't notice that while the festivities were going on, huh?"

As long as there was a chance of small "victories" to shame the Great Satan, he was a hero. Now that he's skedaddled, I think the shine might just wear off. Of course, the tales they'll tell their grandchildren about the Brave Tater who stood up to the Great Satan - and wasn't fired on the spot, well now, those will be something to hear, I'm sure.

Holding out, by hiding out, seems to be good enough for Arabs. That and killing the lone unarmed civilian.

#3 Al-Sadr — young pudgy and street-smart — was never popular in Najaf, where older clerics including Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric, holds sway.

snicker! Yesterday, he was the most popular holy guy in the most popular holy city...now they never really liked him much to begin with.

If this tells us anything..it tells us that Tater is, complete and 100%, toast!

#6 Now that the fighting is over
I doubt seriously that the fighting is over. It may be "over" for the moment, or in this place, but it will continue until there's no "Mahdi's Army" left to fight. Whoever wrote this has about as much intelligence as Michael Moore, and even less understanding of what's going on inside Iraq.

#7 Tehran must have one entire portion of the mullah run régime doing nothing lese but plotting new methods to create chaos & death for Coalition troops & Iraqi public.

Iraqi crude oil pipelines being the main focus for OPEC's Iran, as in destroying them.

As long as Iraqi oil does not flow into the exporting supertankers all the better on the Iranian tally sheet of daily crude profits.
