But if their muscle, their surrogate, has lost the support of the majority of Shia...baby, this could be IT.
With aQ all but defeated and currently being routed everywhere in the country, the former regime guys negotiating on how to get involved into the political process again, and now even the Iranian-controlled pieces being checked...
And you're right about getting JAM NOW. We let 'em off the hook twice before, and it is now not even debatable that, with hindsight, we can see that it was a mistake, BOTH TIMES.
We better not miss THIS chance, because one thing is known: they'll be back, and no more helpful than they were the previous times. And another in unknown: if we'll get another chance to justifiably crush 'em in the future.

To cement this we need the operators from Blackwater who killed those Iraqies to be sent to jail with no hope of ever seeing daylight again. We may be seeing this beginning as the owner of BW (Prince) said things where he basically threw his guys to the wolves. Going to be tough on the Operators, but thats what they get for trading in the flag for the dollar.
WHDH-TV - National News - Blackwater chairman says company acted appropriately
Prince repeatedly refused to say whether former Blackwater employees were guilty of murder and said it should be up to the Justice Department to pursue charges against contractors who commit crimes overseas.
In the case of the Christmas eve shooting, Prince said the company fired and fined the individual.
"But we, as a private organization, can't do any more," he told the House panel. "We can't flog him. We can't incarcerate him. That's up to the Justice Department. We are not empowered to enforce U.S. law."
The Blackwater chairman said he supports legislation that would guarantee his employees and other private security companies working for the State Department are subject to prosecution in U.S. courts. The House was expected to consider such a bill, sponsored by Rep. David Price, D-N.C., on Wednesday.
