#1 My only regret is that they didn't kill him.

#2 Showing even a modicum of spine makes these rats head for the sewers. And this despite every treasonous effort of the left.

#3 Tater could not take the heat and even his pea-bran registered that he was going to be surfing the tsumami Surge. So now he has fled into Mordor for the time being until ~~increased entropy occurs in Iraq another opportunity comes along.~~

#5 He should be facedown in a sewer.

#6 Tater clearly remembers Najaf 2004 when his fat-ass was sizzling on the fire and saved at the last second by al-Sistani.

2004 BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. Marines in Najaf raided the house of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, seized weapons and obliterated a nearby building with a 500-pound bomb to clear out pockets of resistance held by his militia.

#8 The Tehran mullahs have to realize that if Nasrallah is also forced to bravely flee to Iran, the target environment will be simply too rich to pass up...

#10 If Tater's Tots cede a neighborhood, move in and hold it. Once the roaches leave, change the ecosystem so they feel disinclined to return. I'm quite certain, the implications are not lost on Gen. Petraeus.

#12 There was a post (on RB) a few days back saying he was in Qom, but I cannot find it.

#13 There it is!

The Shiite mischief-makers, especially the loose coalition known as the Mahdi Army, are also splintering under military pressure from Iraqi and U.S. forces. Since December, hundreds of Mahdi fighters have fled to Iran - following their nominal leader Muqtada al-Sadr, who is in Qom. More than 1,000 others have been killed or captured

#14 I think Tater has been told that the ROE's have changed and that this time he would be killed if at all possible. There seems to be some new realism creeping, and I do emphasize creeping, into the picture.
