#3 At a mosque! When will the Humiliation cease? I see a mass seething in Ramadi's future.

#4 Step #1. Declare Islam a political ideology.

Step #2. Reclassify all mosques as recruiting offices.

Step #3. I think we all know what the next step is.

#6 Militants inside the Al Qadir Al Kilami mosque fired small arms, machine guns and rocket propelled grenades at U.S. forces...

Welcome to the future home of the Al Qadir Al Kilami Memorial Underground Parking Garage.

#7 Artillery rounds (set 0.005 delay and watch building collapse) would be better.

#8 Glad to see this. When they use mosk as an armory and fire base, it should be leveled without the slightest hesitation. Those tank rounds can do some real damge. Bet it surprised the ragtags, who probably imagined they were within a safe zone.

#9 To paraphrase what Gen Mattis once said: "I will care as little to what happens to holy sites as those who fire from them do."

#10 We've come a long way in the last 3 years. No more tiptoeing around holy sites, now we just fire tank shells into the mosk, and on a Friday too.

About &@#$ time!

#11 I have some serious questions, beginning with, "why is this mosque still standing?" Another is, why weren't beehive rounds used, as well as AP, WP, and HE? Why is there still anything rising more than ten feet above the ground, and who's the idiot that called off the shelling? He needs to be tied to a post in the middle of the busiest street in Baghdad. For a month.

#12 Just take a deep breath and enjoy the moment.
