As the Iraqis and US have been purging southern Iraq of Shiite Cleric Moqtdata al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army forces more and more evidence on the role Iran has played in training and arming (and possibly leading) the Mahdi has brought the US and Iran to heads like never before. That is because Sadr and his Mahdi […]

Here were I think things stand behind the diplomacy scenes between Iran, Iraq and the US. It has become clear from the Iraqi crackdown on the militant Mahdi Army, led somewhat by anti-American, anti-democracy Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, that Iran has been also a key force behind the Mahdi Army in terms of weapons, training […]

April was a tough month for US forces in Iraq. While the death toll is at incredibly low historic levels for conflicts like this, the fact is military action is being taken against the last large Islamo Fascist threat in Iraq – the Mahdi Army. Armed and trained by Iran and working for a crazy […]

With the Jeremiah Wright flack running heavy I did not post any news stories of interest from the war on terror – so today’s update has a lot of articles. I am going to start with a very unique article from UPI which discusses new calm in Sadr City – which we all know has […]

Updated Below Evidence must be mounting that Iranians are involved with the Madhi Army in a proxy war within Iraq because the tension is ratcheting up with no one backing down. The US, clearly fed up with Iranian weapons and trained fighters attacking American and Iraqi forces, apparently has put Tehran on notice of that […]

In another embarrassingly obvious, and childishly awkward, attempt to push a propaganda effort for the liberal SurrenderMedia to do more to save the Sadrist and Mahdi Islamo Fascists under siege in Iraq, we now have the lame claim that the US is using shrapnel-filled cluster bombs filled with Shrapnel in Sadr City: Ale Yassin, the […]

Clearly the Iranian flow of weapons into Iraq and to the Mahdi Army continues apace, and may even be increasing as brand new systems are being discovered in the hands of insurgents: he US military says it has found Iranian-made mortars, rockets and explosives in Iraq bearing recent date stamps, the Wall Street Journal reported […]

Welcome Real Clear Politics Readers! When the Sadr-Maliki story first broke during the initial push into Basra I noted something was distinctly missing from the news about Maliki’s failed efforts and Sadr’s grand victory – there was no dancing in the streets in response to the news stories? There were no cheers for Sadr, no […]

We have seen a Muslim backlash against al-Qaeda building for over a year now. It began in the Anbar Province of Iraq, where Iraq Sunnis made the fatal decision to ally with the Islamo Fascists of al-Qaeda. The resulting atrocities and brutality inflicted by al-Qaeda to cow the Iraqis created such a backlash the Sunnis […]

It is almost sad to see how pathetically weak Sadr’s rag tag militia is against the professional and well trained US and Iraq forces. The vaunted Mahdi Army apparently is an impotent force that falls well short of all the hand wringing concern from the SurrederMedia. Checkout how badly the Mahdi did just yesterday: In […]
