There is a must read article on the power struggle playing out between Shiite PM of Iraq Maliki and the Sadrists Shiite block, which clearly is a puppet of Iran – according to this author: Even the most diehard Iraq hawks want to reduce the U.S. military footprint in Iraq and lean more heavily on […]

The four day ‘truce’ brokered by the Shiite Sadrists, the only remaining faction still fighting in Iraq, meant to stop the fighting in the Sadr City area of Baghdad has failed – indicating Sadr and his Sadrist movement in Iraq have no control over the Iranian trained and armed thugs trying to destabilize the democratically […]

In the post below I noted how the brutal oppression of Sadr City residents, at the hands of the Iranian trained and armed Mahdi Army, was eroding any and all popular support for the Sadrists who are the ones providing political cover for the human atrocities. A recent ‘news’ article catalogues the Islamo Fascist hell […]

Bumped to Top – Major Update: It would seem Sadr is not willing to go for a real suspension of the fighting, signing up to only a 4 day “truce”: Representatives of the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr and lawmakers from Iraq’s main Shiite political bloc signed a four-day cease-fire Monday in an effort to end […]

OK, call me dense. Call me Pollyannish. Call me an optimist. I have hedged for years in calling the liberal western news media allies of the enemies of freedom and democracy.

It was good news that greeted the world yesterday (and for Iraq and America) that Sadr’s militant forces sued for surrender across Iraq. They are working a “cease fire” which basically calls for the disarming of the Mahdi Army (no medium or heavy weapons allowed in the hands of ‘civilians’). On a side note I […]

Well, it should be damn interesting to see how the liberal SurrenderMedia spins this news into claims that Iraq is turning into another Vietnam. It seems the Mahdi Army in Sadr City has surrendered – completely: Followers of rebel cleric Muqtada al Sadr agreed late Friday to allow Iraqi security forces to enter all of […]

Moqtada (“Mookie”) al-Sadr and his Iranian trained and armed Mahdi Militia had expected one thing would shield there efforts – and that was Shiite clerics rarely, if ever, break ranks publicly. Sadr expected the Shiites would rise up if he and his Mahdi thugs were ever attacked, expecting those attacks to come from Sunnis or […]

Major Update: US says Masri not captured. – end update al-Qaeda’s forces in Iraq have been spending the last year, since President George Bush decided to implement General David Petraeus’ counter insurgency strategy that had by this time last year turned the Sunni Province of Anbar, the center of al-Qaeda’s operations in Iraq at the […]
