News from the World War III battlefront in Baghdad…
BAGHDAD – Special Iraqi Army Forces captured a suspected death squad leader during operations Dec. 31 in Sadr City.
The Iraqi-led operation, with Coalition advisers, captured the leader of a rogue illegal armed group allegedly perpetrating widespread death squad actions in the Baghdad area. The suspect is directly responsible for inciting the continuing cycle of sectarian violence through the criminal and violent actions he directs.
Credible intelligence indicates the suspect is a primary perpetrator of Baghdad death squad activity; kidnapping, torturing and murdering Iraqi civilians and directing the assassinations of Iraqi police and community leaders. He is allegedly a former, high-ranking illegal armed group leader within Sadr City, and allegedly once controlled the actions of wanted death squad commander Abu Dura. The suspect reportedly directs the emplacement and use of improvised explosive devices aimed at and causing widespread injury and death among Iraqi civilians. He is reportedly involved in the trafficking of specialized IEDs used in illegal armed group attacks against Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition forces. The operation was a major success in Iraqi efforts to combat violent elements that kidnap, murder and continue to undermine Iraqi security. The operation highlights the aggressive pursuit by trained and competent Iraqi Security Forces of all criminals, wherever they are, that terrorize Iraq. The suspects were captured during an early morning raid that occurred without incident and minimal damage. There were no Iraqi civilian, Iraqi forces or Coalition forces casualties.
Hmmm…… a death squad leader in Sadr City. I wonder if a certain Iraqi cleric is feeling a little extra stress these days?

Methinks someone should send al-Sadr a copy of the footage of Saddam’s execution with a note reading: “Take heed lest this happen to you.”

Methinks someone should send al-Sadr a copy of the footage that explodes before he can finish watching it.
Consider…
Politicians identify a major threat that they claim endangers not only the American way of life, but possibly, civilization itself. Major catastrophic events that have resulted in devastation and loss of life on American soil. And, we are told, this threat has been growing for years because previous administrations failed to act on the evidence that they had. Some even argue that our way of life is responsible for this threat.
We are also told this threat is not something we can deal with quickly, but is a complex issue that will require decades and perhaps generations.
Consider further that in response to this threat, politicians seek a massive expansion of government powers. And suppose further that these politicians say that the curtailment of individual rights is absolutely essential to fighting this threat.
Would liberals object?
Not when the threat is “Global Warming.”
The fight against Global Warming means measures to slow the economy and to punish the people who work to grow it and raise material standards. (Which preserves all those companies and investments that rich liberal children own but don’t understand… and keeps the poor down and dependent on the rich liberal children… while pretending not to. A triple bargain.)
But the fight against Islamo-fascism involves, by the way or among other things, protecting the economy and the people who work to grow it and raise material standards.
That’s one difference. Always Blame America First!
Yeah, I see what that “global warming” did to Denver International last week.
Insert liberal/moonbat/Algore joke here.

(Continuing off-topic) I’m enjoying a nice global warming day in NJ. 70 degrees. It’s beautiful out.
Obviously, it’s silly and pointless to point to one example to conclude whether or not there is global warming, let alone the cause. It appears that there is a warming trend over the past 100 years. But the question is exactly what is causing it, greenhouse gases, or is it just part of some climatic cycle. Someone in a thread about a month ago said that an ice age is coming in about 40 or so years, and that New York will be covered by a glacier. If so, maybe we need to burn more coal, and spray more aerosol cans.
