  Those who are still in denial about the role Iran is playing in creating instability in Iraq through a proxy war fronted by Sadr’s Mahdi Army will have to face the cold hard facts that potent Iranian weapons are showing up in the hands of the Mahdi Army: Coalition forces have reported Iran […]

In meetings all day so I can only post some interesting stories from Iraq. First off is some good news about the general security situation in Iraq. Even though there is fighting between the Iraqi government and the rebellious Mahdi Army and cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, much of the rest of Iraq must be fairly quiet […]

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. Clearly he doesn’t have the Sadr family on his side anymore after his actions. Alseyed Josef Alsadar a member of the […]

Muqtada al-Sadr has to be losing it, since all his threats are empty ones which are followed by embarrassing caveats and waffling. He threatened a million man march in Najaf, then cancelled it when it was clear he did not have the following to fill the streets. And this weekend he threatened “open” war (as […]

I posted recently on how the Mahdi Army is being whooped across Iraq, from Baghdad to Basra and posts in between (see here and here). Karl over at Protein Wisdom has caught the LA Times grasping for some news of US-Iraq defeat in all this victory, but having to admit to all the victory anyway: […]

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 […]

Updates below – Sadr loses Basra Anti-American and basic nutjob Moqtada al-Sadr has decided to defy the Grand Ayatollah Sistani of Iraq and not follow the rule of law. He is going to the end – his end – as he threatens all out civil war: Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Saturday threatened an “open […]
