BAGHDAD - A suspected Shiite militia leader accused of involvement in the deaths of U.S. soldiers has been captured in Iraq, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

The U.S. military refers to such fighters as members of Iranian-backed "special groups" who are defying a cease-fire order by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Many of them are believed to have fled recent fighting in Baghdad's Shiite militia stronghold of Sadr City.

The Kurds should send the Sunnis packing out of Mosul.

We should kill Muqtada al-Sadr.

Yeah, there's alot of things we should do (that would be the smart thing), but aren't doing.

There is alot of success in Iraq, but it seems the few small problems they're having are becoming flies in the oinment. You'd think we'd find a way to wipe our ass and get rid of them. But these things take time....It took Europe years to recuperate after WWII. Nation-building is hard-work...
