What to do with Muqtada al Sadr

One of the major problems we had in this war was that we did not destroy our enemies when we had the chance. It was true in Fallujah and it was true in Sadr city. It may be too late to ice Muqtada al Sadr, but I sure like the sentiment.

Jules Crittenden in the Boston Herald:

What should have been done long ago. Demonstrate that sectarian thuggery is not the future of Iraq. With or without al-Maliki’s cooperation, call Moqtada al-Sadr in his game of chicken. Provoke a fight with his forces, and destroy them. If Moqtada al-Sadr, the leader of unlawful combat forces, should die with them, so much the better. As the power currently responsible for security and stability in Iraq, it falls to the United States to favorably influence the behavior of elements seeking to find advantage in sectarian violence, or eliminate them. Iran and its proxies must be shown they cannot call the tune in Iraq. Iraqi politicians, as veteran survivors, must be shown that pandering to murderers is not a viable route to securing their own futures.

1 "Iran and its proxies must be shown they cannot call the tune in Iraq"

Dr. S.,
Speaking of Iran's proxies, let's recall some of things that the Mullahcracy of in Iran is directly guilty of:
a) Supplying the insurgents with shaped charge devices responsible for murdering a number of U.S. and coalition troops
b) Infiltrating 12,000 of their agents into Iraq immediately following the fall of Saddam's regime
c) Training the Shiite terrorists in southern Iraq.
d) Being caught trying to smuggle trucks full of counterfeit ballots into Iraq to manipulate Iraqi elections.
etc etc etc.
In brief, the mullah regime and its thugs supporter and followers are directly responsible for murdering coalition and Iraqi service personnel and Iraqi civilians.
Isn't time that regime got its teeth kicked in ?

2 From what I hear from my buddies Sadr gives more than enough excuse to level the enitre neighborhood on a daily basis.  Rocket and mortar attacks from within Sadr City like clockwork every morning (sometimes throughout the day), insurgents shooting or blowing up a market then fleeing in there, and so on.

Simple really, kill the bastard. For the sake of all the people of Iraq. We should have killed him long ago as he is just another tyrant with a militia, which makes him doubly dangerous.

4 I see now, some bim or wog can talk the same smack I do and get the play from Rusty while my archives are full of this same type of soothsaying. But then it is obvious that if I can see this coming it did not take a genius to figure it out.

5 Dr. Rusty, et al...

Awhile back I stumbled upon a great couple of articles that explained a little about Fallujah and why the military did what it did there... among a myriad other topics about the war. 
Since I never took a military tactics class, I dont know 100%.. regardless its a long read, but it is really worth reading.  Links to both parts of the article(s)  which were written in 2004 are at my blog here JediMeditations.

(yes, it is a rather shameless plug and link-whoringness.)
