#1 tu3031: Want a lasting peace deal with this clown? Send him to hell.

Don't shoot that one - they might replace him with someone who can shoot straight.

#2 dont need a LASTING peace deal, just a ceasefire long enough for US and Iraqi forces to deal with the SUNNI insurgency, then turn back and deal with Sadr later. Why should only the bad guys get to play the Hudna game. Hell, im reading a history of the 30 years war, and european christians were pretty good at that game too.

So far the truce then kill strat with Sadr seems to be working.

Then we keep shooting his successors until a "promotion" results in someone that understands the message being sent.

#7 Guys, I just read a Stratfor briefing that says we're doing it again in Fallujah -- a cease fire deal, that is. No more bombing of Zarqawi. All I can say is WTF?

#9 WTF? Well it's Stratfor!
It's gonna be hell.
It's gonna be heaven.
It's gonna be negotiated between the devils and the angels.
Sending in the Marines.
Sending in the Social Workers.

Are we covered? Send money to Stratfor!

#10 BAR: Then we keep shooting his successors until a "promotion" results in someone that understands the message being sent.

Sadr is a terrible leader. He could be doing much better - like Zarqawi's or Saddam's men. There is a clear difference between him and the Sunni leaders, who are the A-Team. The measure of their skill is that both Zarqawi and al-Douri are still at large despite huge bounties on their heads. We could kill Sadr any time we want to - this means he's a loser.

If someone like Zarqawi replaces Sadr, and uses the Shiite zealots working for him more effectively, more GI's will die. Note that it is the Sunnis who are killing the most Americans, not the Shiites, who can't even tie their own shoelaces. If Sadr's followers get a better leader, that could change. Like I said, don't kill that one - they might replace him with someone who can shoot straight.
