#1 I'd hire a Kurd to drive a truck packed to the roof with explosives and park it in the vicinity of Al-Sadr's home. Get out, take a little walk, and 5 minutes later, BOOM.

#4 Rafael, I like it!

It there were any justice in the world & a God in heaven, then we should give the Kurds all of Iraq.

Just give them the weapons they want, hand over the keys simply walk away with a....smile.

Best Wishes,

#5 [...cue Murat's blather about the Kurds...]

Sadr is vying for the Golden Smoldering Wheelchair Award. Let's help him along. Otherwise this becomes Iran-lite.

#6 Sadr obviously aspires to become the Shiite Arafat. Surely prior to that, we can arrange a "work accident" that will speed him on his way to collect his 72 raisins. If we were really good, the accident would include an honor guard from his "Mahdi's Army" to serve him in Paradise.

#7 The gloves are off. Who's your buddie, who's your pal.

The Kurds have their own troubles. This is our problem.

#8 If we're so damned anxious to "win hearts and minds" over there and be even-handed with the various Iraqi factions & sects that we blind ourselves to the menace this guy poses, then this whole "Iraqi Democracy Initiative" is a complete waste of time and American lives.

Go in there, grab this clown and drag him away, never to be seen or heard from again.

#10 Let's give the West Bank to the Kurds.

#11 The Kurds have their own troubles. This is our problem.

I'd be more likely to trust a Kurd to help out than I would a Shiite.
