#1 dot com, arent exaggerated threats part of the culture there? Im not sure that his saying "we will kill you all in one mighty raid" and then failing to follow through looks as weak there as it does to us. As long as he steadily kills em in smaller, but still important numbers, which he did in Najaf (with a LOT of help from us, to be sure) and is apparently now doing in Sadr city, and has steadily been doing in Fallujah, I dont see the problem in all the wolf crying.

#2 Regardless of the culture, making threats and failing to make good on them projects a lack of resolve/determination. At some point in time, your adversaries will stop taking you seriously.
