Mookie still in the saddle, part 2

With the big media, and their sycophantic imitators, it’s all about the narrative, the "quagmire" or "the surge isn’t working." For a few, it’s lately become rather astoundingly flipped to "the surge is working." There’s still scant middle ground in their reporting from Iraq. Not so with independent journalists like Michael Totten. With them there’s always room for bewilderment. Especially when it comes to Mookie Sadr, the Shia puppet of Iran, leader of Iraq’s branch of Hezbollah, whom we still refuse to arrest, deport, kill, etc. Instead, surge or no surge, the vicious little neo-Saddam killer goes on and on.

UPDATE: Uncle Jimbo at BlackFive says Mookie’s recent declaration of a hudna is a stall. Of course it is. He says letting Mookie live was one of the biggest mistakes of the Iraq campaign. Right again.
