where are they getting the info in that book????

Re: wow....so sad.

interesting and disconcerting story there, but I'm not understanding your question...

Re: wow....so sad.

where and how are these militia men gathering and sharing this information on the shia population?

and separtely..why the hell hasnt anyone put a bullet in al sadr's head.

Re: wow....so sad.

It's not that hard for them to gather that kind of information on the ground...the people on the ground know who lives where. To put that in a book is no biggie, just more organized.

and as for sadr, I'll answer that one if you could tell me why the hell hasnt anyone put a bullet in bin laden's head yet?

Re: wow....so sad.

been wondering thaat myself. and while on that thought. a big sarcastic thank you to pakistan for thier efforts regaridng the tribal regions.........

Re: wow....so sad.

you mean the one where the pakistani gov't gives the tribes free reign in their regions and the tribes will still help us with finding bin laden and fighting the taliban? ;) ;)

Deal of the Year, imo...

Re: wow....so sad.

The reason they haven't killed Sadr to my understanding is that he's protected by the Prime Minister who's also Shia like Sar. Supposedly, Sadr is providing the PM political support.

The whole Iraqi war seems really to between different factions of Shia vs Shia or Shia vs Sunni. Our troops unfortunately are right in the middle of the conflict.

Re: wow....so sad.

sounds like Beirut all over again.

Re: wow....so sad.

whats with the paki hate....haha...i dont think hes in pakistan even if he was..hes totally irrelvant now...osama is nothing...just a face to point at...just like bush...hes nothing but a face to point at and blame...

whether they find osama or not is not the case any more...in fact hes probably dead by now..or if not then hes shaved his shit and is chillin in sao paolo with the bitches..

its too great of a task to ask the tribal leaders to 'give up' osama...these tribal lands are not part of govt territory and have thier own militia and arms...it would be very distructive for them to attck thier own and displace them...it has already happened or was happening a few months back...it to big a task for them and the reprecussions are too great to risk....i think its irrelevant anyway...atleast in this context
