Alan Colmes Makes Me Sick

He just said that Iran (you know, the guys who kidnapped a group of British sailors) doesn’t want a conflict because their rhetoric is “softening.” So lemme get this straight: As long as they talk nice while they’re committing flagrant acts of aggression, it counts as a net decrease rather than an escalation?
Reminds me of the scene in Mars Attacks where the Martians announce “Don’t worry; we are your friends!” as they’re shooting everything in sight. Except, of course, then the Left presumably knew it was a joke.

Quote of the Day 2

“In dubious honor of Rosie O’Donnell defending mass murdering sociopath Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. She complained, believe it or not, about how we ‘robbed him of his humanity.’ Funny. I thought he did that when his chosen career path was that of ‘Mass-murderer of children and other innocent people.’”

Al-Sadr’s Boys: Surrendering?

More good news from Iraq? Let’s pray this report is true:

The Mahdi Army, a predominantly Shia Muslim force led by Moqter al-Sadr, has terrorized Sunnis into fleeing certain Baghdad neighborhoods and has been linked to Iran. Al-Sadr has disappeared from the Iraqi capital and is widely believed to have holed up in Iran. Al-Sadr’s family and senior officers are believed, by elements of American intelligence in Iraq, to have left with him.With al-Sadr’s paymasters gone many mid-level commanders are unpaid. And so are the fighters under them. (In the Mahdi Army, commanders are responsible for the financial well-being of the men under their command.) Some have resorted to extortion, robbery and violent crimes. They are desperate for money. And they are also being hunted by U.S. and Iraqi soldiers throughout Iraq.

If these negotiations bear fruit, the Mahdi Army could be well on its way to being dismantled , commander by commander, fighter by fighter.
