#2 Not coincidence - trying to peel off the members of the coalition, one by one.

#3 Somehow the message has to be delivered to these people, loud and clear, that this must stop; that free speech is one thing, advocating insurrection another thing entirely.

Frankly, I think it's time for this Sadr clown to disappear.

At least 19 people have been killed and around 100 injured in clashes between Spanish-led troops and demonstrators in the Iraqi city of Najaf. Soldiers shot at a crowd marching on their base, witnesses said, but it was not clear who had opened fire first. One report said two Iraqi soldiers, acting alongside coalition forces, were among the casualties. One report said Spanish forces were pelted with stones, and responded by opening fire. But one of the marchers, Hussein Ali, said the first shots came from the demonstrators. "Some protesters, who were armed, fired toward the Spanish troops, who responded by firing on the crowd. It was carnage," he said. At least some of those on the march were armed members of the Moqtada Sadr's banned Mehdi Army militia.

#6 Sadr better get his followers to shut up before he moves any higher up on "Bush's list".

#7 The news this morning is depressing. The Marines need to take some visible action soon. The local bad guys are getting emboldened.

#8 Why is Sadr still alive? Time for a "work accident" to send him along to Paradise.

#9 The key of course is to bump off Sadr while placing the blame on Al-Q, Iran, Syria, or Saudi Arabia.

How to do that I leave as an exercise to the reader....

#10 Sadr is clawing his way to the top of our Christmas list. Let's all hope he gets a visit from Santa real soon.

Let's see. Still being bombed at home and their troops are getting snuffed abroad. That "truce" Spain got for its appeasement is really coming up roses.
