Good News from Iraq

It seems that Militant Shia leader Moktada al-Sadr, whom the troops all call Mookie, is neither present nor accounted for back at the clubhouse, which sure sounds like good news, despite the spin the New York Times puts on his absence.

He might be visiting relatives, as the NYT suggests, or he might be the first bonus of the first 25% of the surge. Time will tell. I hope all the Democrats in the House vote that they have no confidence in Petraeus' ability and plan. They would display their usual fighting spirit, weird way of supporting the troops and impeccable timing yet again.

Captain Ed feels the same way as does John Hinderaker at Powerline. I'm hard pressed to come up with a different way to think about it.

Comments:
So he is in Tehran.........probably paying the invoice for the first set of Austrian 050 Calibers.
 
I'm going to write about those guns within the week. Barrett, which makes the best .50 BMG rifles here in America has decided to go down a little in size to the .416 Rigby, which in a new Barrett rifle is accurate to 2,500 yards, nearly 2 miles.
Brave Sir Mookie, indeed.
