Reading headlines like these: Al-Sadr Calls for Attacks on U.S. Troops makes me wonder just why this piece of human waste is still alive, breathing, and able to make speeches like the ones he is credited with making in the linked article?!?
He should have been dealt with a long time ago, but unfortunately in trying to be sensitive to Iraqi politics and in trying not to be evil warmongering occupiers we let him continue on. Unfortunately that move has come back to bite us in the rear-end since it's this son-of-a-..... that is now inspiring his fellow Iraqi citizens by playing on the fact that we are occupiers.
It shouldn't take that much effort to deal with Al-Sadr. One small team, ala The Unit, Delta Force, etc., should be able to handle Al-Sadr permanently. It is well past time for that to have happened.
