Strata is such the “democratic friend” of the Iraqi people
he wishes to kill perhaps their most popular figure. This
exemplifies the ugly American imperialist who poses as
a friend of those he wishes to subject. Your cover’s blown AJ.

There is nothing absurd about Soothsayer’s saying the obvious.
What happened was, Iranian double-agents eg Chalabi,played Israel-first American neocons to a victory for Iran by lying about the WMDs
and telling them America would be welcomed in Iraq. It was a
gamble for Iran too, but so far so good.

asoothsayer:

That is absurd and besides it is not half as ironic as hearing the same people who say we are picking on Iran complain that the Shia in Iraq are {gasp} Shia. In other words, if Iran is as innocent as many on the left claim, why would you care if they have influence in Iraq. Do you think we should follow in Saddam’s footsteps and kill a million or so of them?

Does it bother anyone else the irony inherent in government we have installed – after 3500 troops killed and 20,000 wounded – being in the hip pocket of our supposed arch-enemy Iran – and supporting Hezb’Allah and Hamas?

It’s kind of like having most favored nation trading status with China ( a real long-term threat) and boycotting Cuba – who couldn’t hurt a fly with a rolled up Washington Times.

I thought I read somewhere that Sadr is a sayeed and untouchable according to muslim laws. That he is a direct descentant of Mohammed and to kill him would inflame the muslims to frenzy. If this is true there would be no firing squad for him and no killing him. This probably why he was not elimminated two years ago.

i’m sorry to hear it. he needs to be killed–he’s three years past his due date– and it’s virtually impossible if he’s in iran.

Mookie bugs out…

Sadr Flees Iraq John Hinderaker Stunning news, I think: Moqtada al Sadr has bolted to Iran, apparently because he fears for his safety as more American troops pour into Baghdad. Sadr reportedly took the top command of his Mahdi army…
