Will the Marines get their pants beat off by this group?

Question

U.S. could face a showdown with al-Sadr By ROBERT REID, Associated Press.

BAGHDAD, Putting more U.S. soldiers in the streets of Baghdad risks a major butt beating by the radical anti-American cleric who has modeled his movement after Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas.

Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army has re-emerged as a key force in the majority Shiite community after suffering substantial losses during two uprisings against the U.S. military in 2004. Sunni Arabs believe the militia is responsible for kidnapping and killing thousands of Sunnis since the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite shrine.

Al-Sadr's black-clad followers insist they simply protect Shiite communities that have suffered horrific losses at the hands of Sunni insurgents and religious extremists in Iraq since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's government. Whatever the truth, there is no way to restore order in Baghdad without dealing with this Iraq leader. The Marines crap when they see black clad followers.

Answer 1

The US Marine is the toughest in the world. They are the Best Trained in the World. They are the most fearless and committed to what ever job that confronts them. We found the coward Saddam hiding like a little girl in his little "fraidy hole" didn't we" - If our government unties their hands, there is nothing they cant overcome. NOTHING!

Answer 2

You said yourself this militia suffered "substantial losses" in not one but TWO clashes with the US military. What would possibly make you think a third uprising would end any differently? They'll get an old-fashioned beat down yet again from the Marines. Why? Because they're insane. Definition of insanity... trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Answer 3

Get yourself a history book and read the history of the Marine Corps, and after your done with it and you shut your mouth because your in awe, then comeback and see if you think they will be beaten by men in black pajamas.

Marine Corps:
They stole the eagle from the Air Force,
Anchor from the Navy,
Rope from the Army,
And on the 7th day when God rested,
They overran his perimeter and stole the globe.

SEMPER FI

Answer 4

I've got tough RETIRED Marines from the Vietnam War era living around me and working with me, and I'd feel sorry for any poor stupid soul who would step in their path, much less the ones who are still active. God Help the enemies of the U.S. Marines. And God Help / Bless you.

Answer 5

I feel sorry for you, man. You are probably a pole-smoking pansy who really doesn't do enough research to really know that they really never dispanded. So what, let them blow themselves up, we know where they are!!!

It's kill or be killed, actions of a brave Marine, who defends themselves (male and female) and defends their fellow Marines from an attack by some murderous Al-Queda sympathizer is what I can an American Hero, so go eat sh!t.

Answer 6

Do not disrespect the Marines, even if they are jar heads, they are the first to hit the ground running. I do not see you over there fighting.

Answer 7

Yes, I agree. The situation in Iraq is VERY optimistic.

Answer 8

You sit at your little computer and throw this trash out here , i did my time , along with a lot of other brave men , whats you excuse?

Answer 9

What is your problem with the marines, anyway?

They would let a pussy like you in or something?

Answer 10

You are not worth the time to answer. Anti- Americans never are worth answering, they never change.
