Deputy Mayor of Baghdad Assassinated

[Starchild]

I'm really tempted to do the "Told ya so" dance.

Oh, what the hell.

Told ya so, told ya so. Told ya, told ya, told ya so.

Sit back and enjoy Sloww, you've got quite a few years of this lift.

[SlowwHand]

Aw, jeez Louise.
Someone call the plumber.
The toilet's busted and all the crap's floating across the room.

[Japher]

Well

If they went with Sloww's initial plan we wouldn't have this mess. We'd be basking in their nuclear glow

[Lincoln]

Too bad this guy was killed trying to help his own people. They even target the Red Cross now. I expect the Iraqi people themselves to solve this problem over time. But it is way too soon to leave. We abandoned these people once before after the Gulf War after encouraging them to rebel against oppression. That is not an option now.

[MOBIUS]

Too bad they missed Wolfowitz - someone actually responsible for this mess would be getting theirs as opposed to their pawns.

Yes, the US (and UK) has to stick it out till the end - try telling that to the US public though, especially when even the chickenhawks like Sloww are starting to turn an interesting shade of yellow...

I was totally (and still am) opposed against GW2, but now Pandorra's box is opened I agree with you. I also think that it's time to get the UN in but not as US lackeys.

This is just another indication of how desperate the terrorists are becoming.

Starchild, don't. It's too easy, remember we are dealing with people like Sloww...

Yep... we are staying for the long haul. We were involved in the long haul since the beginning. This stuff will take some time with slow progress. The longer we are there, the better it'll be.. as long as we strongly decide to destroy these terror groups with as much force needed.

Don't even think about pulling out. We got a chance for something very good here if we stay the course.

Whatya mean "we," College Boy?

[Lord Merciless]

UN... right, everyone terrorist knows that it takes at most 3 bombs to make UN turn their tail and flee.

Maybe the UN can impose sanctions against the terrorists and Baath party members.

Wolfowitz is clearly trying to help Iraq.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Big bad Wolfie is the chicken choker most responsible for the "we can whup 'em with one hand tied behind our backs then everyone will throw flowers in our path and be grateful and we'll have no problems" nonsense that led to us going in with too little force, and virtually no real plan for occupation.

Best snarky headline of the day was on the front page of the NYT:

"Wolfowitz, a Planner of War, Sees It Up Close"

Snicker, snicker, snicker...
