The news for Mookie is getting worse and he is making some dumb moves which will only hasten his downfall. First off Gateway Pundit has the news Sadr has been disowned by his family.

The implosion of Moqtada al-Sadr is all the more interesting given how much the SurrenderMedia in the West invested in his supposed ability to derail progress in Iraq. With al-Qaeda on the run and the other militias now integrated into the Iraqi security forces Sadr’s Mahdi Army was the last challenge to stabilizing Iraq for […]

Mimicking the statements of the Surrendercrats here in the US AQ’s co-leader Ayman Zawahiri says Iraq has been a failure: Al Qaeda’s No. 2 man claimed in a new audiotape released on a militant Web site early Friday that that five years of U.S. occupation of Iraq brought only “failure and defeat,” which the Bush […]
