AL-SADR CAUSING TROUBLE AGAIN

Our good buddy and radical Islamic cleric in Iraq Muqtada Al-Sadr is now going around saying that Iraqis should not fight each other or the insurgents, instead they ought to fight the Americans. Why is this SOB still alive? For years we've been told that this is the guy in charge in Iraq, that this is the guy we need to go to. Work with Al-Sadr and we can bring his people along...make peace and stop the insurgency. And up until now this policy of appeasement has gotten us precisely nowhere.

So now Sadr is telling his followers that they should fight the Americans: "You, the Iraqi army and police forces, do not walk alongside the occupiers because they are your enemy. I am here to advise you the honest resister hopes for two thing from God: either victory or martyrdom. But at the same time, the honest resister should not kill a fellow Iraqi." Well it's nice to know Al-Sadr doesn't think the Iraqis should kill each other. I suppose that's progress.

And so this is what we get after 4 years of "working with" Sadr. The fact is this guy's been a problem since day one and it's time for him to go. It's time for Muqtada to experience the Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi memorial bombing...and be sent to visit his 72 virgins in paradise a bit early.

Bullets, not words.
