#1 Maliki might be playing to the taters, but a serious enema is in order and will be administered.

The 172nd is in surgical mode.

#2 Seems like the press is still in the "impending civil war" mode.

Was it 12 or 18 months ago the bad guys torched a gasoline truck and killed dozens? (Over a hundred?) Remember when bombers killed dozens in a single blast? Kinda quiet, now, is it not?

#3 Does this mean they are going to roast Tater? He (and Iran) are behind a lot of this. Arrange for him to have an 'accident'.

#5 It is an interesting tactic the Islamists are using in Iraq. They kill as many Muslims as they can in order to wear down the will of the coalition to continue the efforts to bring freedom and democracy to Iraq. They say "leave - or we'll brutally kill our own innocent people." We don't leave, so the Islamists intentionally blow up innocent Iraqis day after day. The international media and the Arab world then attribute the deaths to the infidel US and coalition occupation, but strangely there are few photographs of the carnage wrought by Islamist bombs.

Then switch screens to Lebanon. There the Islamists launch rockets under cover of women and children in an attempt to kill Israeli civilians. As they launch the rockets, they anticipate there will be defensive retaliation at the site by Israel. Within minutes, Israel indeed retaliates with a pinpoint bomb at the site of the rocket launch, but the terrorists have gone leaving behind the civilian shields who have become innocent casualties. Then amid reams of photos of mangled bodies and wailing friends, relatives and parents, the international media and the Arab world again attribute the deaths to the infidels Israelis.

How dumb are we?
