Refit and rearm to take on the coalition in 6 months to a year. I guess a surge might have sucked the life out of em.

RE: http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,147552,00.html

My guess is that they are banking on our leftist,liberal, naysayers in Congress and the Senate to keep our troops from going after them anyway, and push for a retreat/pullout when the attacks diminish. They are not about to give up their Jihad in any form or fashion until they have met their goal of destruction of the western/non-islamic world. The Iraqi govt. and our coalition troops should also regroup, refit, and be ready on as many fronts is humanly possible to repel the surge of Wahabi fundalmentalist that will surely come at the end of the "ceasefire",if not before. Now is not the time to "back up" on the surge of the coalition forces on any front.

No worries fellas I'll be over there in 8months to kick some ***.

Like I posted on a different thread...

Pull all of our forces back to the borders around Iraq, Iran, Syria and Saudi and, with carrier battle groups and armoured divisions at the ready, let them kill each other to their hearts content, with a warning to not cross out of the arena of fighting, or we'll simply nuke 'em.
This will bleed all the factions of the maniacs who just want to kill, the bitter old men who control these gangs will hopefully be assasinated (originally an arab term) and the people who want to live peacefully will be rid of lunatic fanatics.
Then we can deal with them on a rational level.

Of course, this will never happen, but...

Having said all that, I still do believe that there are Iraqis that just want to live peacefully with the rest of the world. But just like our news media has done to America, their voice has been stolen and they are being manipulated by those that crave power.

OK folks--------lets stop the war, we have to rehabilitate---dose that mean-rearm??

My personal feeling is that we, as the United States of America, should stop ***** footing around, we must wipe out all resistance as I have become a believer that our Country is the only hope for this world. We should, without public opinion, destroy all enemies and thats that. And iran should be wiped out also, anyone who wants to destroy America should be vaporized if necessary. In today’s world it is the only way we will survive, the radicals, Muslims, etc., who wish our way of life destroyed will just wait and wait, then will, without notice, attack and kill us. We must act now and act decisively. I believe with no doubt that our President, President Bush, is doing the right thing and whatever else must also happen, and you all might think I am nuts, but to include a form of dictatorship. If all those who whine and whimper really knew what islamic life was like they would be the first to run for a weapon. I pray to God that during the Presidents (Bush's) term he will destroy iran and all others who oppose us.



Live long and Conquer for our future children of America

You've not really been paying attention have you, al Sadr might be many things but I'll bet you good money that he is not a Wahhabi. This is mainly because he's a Shi'ite and Wahhabism is aggressively Sunni and views Shia as heretics.

A more realistic suggestion is that al Sadr has heard the Iranian pronouncements about filling the post-coalition vacuum in Iraq and this is part of a strategy to resist Persian interference in Arab affairs. If the Mahdi army quietens down for a while it should give you lot and the Iraqi government an opportunity to have a crack at some of the more pro-Teheran militias as well as the Sunnis. It also gives him chance to retrain and reorganise towards and most likely weed his forces of Iranian sympathisers and moles in preparation for the "pull-out punch up".

in essence yes rearm and recruit more child bombers

Al Sadr should've been "put on ice" back in 2003. If we honestly believe that this guy is just trying to "reorganize" or "reindoctrinate" his militia to be so-called "team players" in a "new" Iraq, we're really naive!

"Al-Sadr Puts Mahdi Army on Ice"

Hmm I'd rather see:
"US Puts Al-Sadr in the Dirt"

That man is a criminal, nothing more, he's just like Osama and all the other Radical-Islamic Fundamentalists-Terrorist-@$$hole leaders. They manipulate their own people's strong religious beliefs for their own personal gain (osama a messenger of god? yeah right...) sorta sad really...
Al-Sadr, Osama, Zawahiri, and the rest of those idiot terrorirsts need a permanent dirt nap

Al-Sadr has not control of them now. How is he going to put them on ice? Too many factions.

Put the Army on Ice? Rats! And just when they were getting pretty good at killing each other. There is no justice!

This whole thing stinks.Keep the pressure on!

Of course it means fallback, regroup, reorganize rearm and advance to the attack.

They use Mohammed's behavior with the Jews and with the Meccans as justification, making deciept abd betrayal honorable.

and this one from an Atheist site for a different perspective

www.atheists.org/Islam/mohammedanism.html


Boils down the the fact that one must assume the Islamic attitude to understand what they do and why.

It means dont lay off like we did with the bombing campaign in 'Nam.They come back even worse than before.

Blades, you forget that all that technical stuff only confuses people who believe in "Islamofascism", the unified field theory of geopolitics that puts them all in cahoots ... sort of the "Global Communist Conspiracy" redux. It has all the virtues of simplicity, and suffers only from complete inaccuracy.

Old Mole Sir-Once again..dead on the money. You really should do some writing, your column would be really good.

This is excactly why Petraeus is working with the Tribal leaders instead of JUST the government. The Tribal leaders make the decisions that the people will listen to.

Another thought-provoking post by Oldmole. Many thanks.

IMHO, when sincere men of peace prepare for war, we should that seriously.

But when homicidal terrorist ideologues announce a cease-fire ... well ... it likely means Al-Sadr has lost control of his own militias.

Which could be good news, or it could be bad news, for our brave soldiers.

Another round of cards is dealt in "The Great Game" ...

Al-Sadr(PuffDaddy Cheeks) is making a big mistake. Now is the time to attack attack attack. Not run and hide. What is this guy? A relative of Nancy P or Harry Reid?
