Let's Get It Over With (Updated)

UPDATED
As I observe here and here, the ridiculous Moqtada al Sadr's so-called "Mahdi Army in Iraq" has recently been taking it in every orifice, including those manufactured by bullets and artillery delivered by Allah's will through his divine vessel, U.S. President George W. Bush.

Now it looks like the Mookster can't even get any respect.

It's time to put this asshole out of his misery and press on with Change and Hope for Iraqis.

Damn, that sounds Changeworthy and Hopefullish.

In reality, it means a guy in Florida with a bitchin' remote sends a Hellfire missile up Sadr's ass just after lunch on a sunny Sunday.

I like this area very much.

Discuss/fret/manufacture outrage.

UPDATE:
Okay, so maybe US and Iraqi Forces won't kill the sonofabitch, although right now they're busy killing or incarcerating everyone who works for him. After that, we'll see, but for now:
The senior-most Iraqi general in charge of the security operation in Basrah has issued an ultimatum for wanted Mahdi Army leaders and fighters to surrender in the next 24 hours as the Iraqi and US military ignore Muqtada al Sadr's threat to conduct a third uprising. US troops killed 15 Mahdi Army fighters in Baghdad yesterday and have killed 56 fighters since Sadr issued his threat last weekend.

In Basrah, General Mohan al Freiji, the chief of the Basrah Operational Commander and leader of the security operation in the province, has given issued warrants "for 81 people, including senior leaders of the Mahdi militia, and they have 24 hours to give up," The Associated Press reported...

Iraqi and US forces have not stopped its operations against The Mahdi Army in Baghdad and the South despite Sadr's threat to conduct a third uprising. US forces in Baghdad alone have reported 56 "criminals" killed since Sadr issued his warning. The US military refers to the Mahdi Army as criminals in an effort to marginalize and delegitimize the group.

Twenty-seven Mahdi Army fighters were killed during clashes in Sadr City and Baghdad on April 20. US troops killed five Mahdi Army fighters in Sadr City and another seven fighters in New Baghdad on April 21. US soldiers killed another fifteen Mahdi Army fighters inside Sadr City on April 22.

South of Baghdad in the city of Karbala, Iraqi police detained seven members of the Mahdi Army on April 22.
