Were Bushies going to try to "Take Out" al Sadr? (Most Dangerous in ME)

[KoKo]

That Newsweek Cover: "al Sadr, the Most Dangerous Man in Middle East..."
has me wondering if Newsweek was tipping off readers that al Sadr was next on the Bushies Hit List to be removed like Zarqawi.

Anyone else think this Hadley leak and early release of Baker was warning to Cheney/Bush/Condi about removing Maliki supporter al Sadr?

The Hadley Memo leaked just as Bush is flying to the Summit that was postponed and the amount of time given to discussing what a mess Iraq is last night on the Cables made me wonder if some "Powers that Be" were warning Bushies that "taking out" al Sadr might be another blunder in their long list of horrendous blunders in Iraq.

Joe Scarborough's show last night had a panicked Buchanan, Joe Klein and others suggesting that the Bushies would want to make one last "BIG PUSH" in Baghdad. Then Anderson Cooper's 360 on CNN devoted two hours to discussing what could be done about Iraq and the conclusion of one of the segments was that bringing more troops into Baghdad and going after al Sadr would make a bad situation worse. The panel went at all sides of "what more can we do in Iraq" and couldn't come up with anything that seemed to be a solution except that having a war inside Baghdad would be disaster unless we brought in all 160,000 troops and then what would happen to the other Provences if we left them bare.

Anyone else see last nights Cable coverage and the urgency that seemed to be in the reporting? :shrug:

1. They'll always be one more Sadr to take out.

Each time, with an ever growing number of radicalized Iraqi followers. We can kill our way to a diplomatic solution in Iraq.

2. No one said that....but it "hung" in the background. It seems all the

"great minds" who got us into this disaster can't figure a way out. Like Vietnam but in many ways worse in the scope of doing something once again that has no end in site like 1968.

Blood on their hands. I wonder if it ever occurs to them.

3. Oooooo, make him a MARTYR!!

Good plan, Bushies. As good as all your idiotic crap.
