Not a good thing for the US.....

he will find a bullet in his head soon enough.

MorningBreath: he will find a bullet in his head soon enough.

Problem is he never sticks around for the fighting, he slinks off to Iran. He's spent more time in Iran than Iraq over the last several years.

Really? Is there a source for this? Can't find anything.

Have you tried Googling it? A quick search finds mention of him going to Iran in articles from the AP), from ABC, and the BBC.

Mahdi Army commanders say their militia has been taking delivery of arms and cash from Iran, but al-Sadr sought to distance himself from the Iranians, saying he has recently told Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameini, that he did not approve of the "political and military interests" that Tehran pursued in Iraq.

Also likes long walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners, and anal.

You know.. Iran isn't some impenetrable fairy land. Our bombs and bullets work there just as well as anywhere else.

Alright - who let John McCain on TF?

Apparently not.

I was going to snark you, but you answered your own moronic comment.

Bullets and bombs don't. farking. work. you moron. If they did, we would have happily killed all the troublemakers and been out of there by the time Bushie was having the silk screeners run off the Mission Accomplished banner. But nooooo, let's go to Iran where we can magically kill off everyone who will ever be trouble, and suffer no consequences due to cultural and political upheavals!

//upon second reading, it appears that I snarked you anyway

The surge is working.

I did. And of course I picked up that he'd visited, didn't have the impression he was living there.

one cannot go against the will of god.

-our government is full of fools that do not understand this.

they will gladly offer up the sons of the poor to increase the size of their wallets.

how many more zionist led wars must the united states endure before enlightened "americans" get a farking clue.

thanks to them...we haven't "won" a war since the war of 1812.

nothing but bloody misadventures of mayhem and greed.

-with each war...the zionist hold over this nation has grown stronger...and more foolish.

i can't farking believe it.

Good times!

Funny story.
When I was going to college in England, Muqtada al-Sadr was a student there. He was pretty much an ordinary guy. None of this radical shiat you see from him now.
We used to call him 'Mookie' and he didn't seem to mind. One night he pulled a crazy prank on the dean. He brought the dean's horse into his office and fired a gun next to its head. The horse went into cardiac arrest and keeled over in a frozen pose. We all ran back to our rooms and locked the doors.

good times.

it's encouraging to know that god specifically endorses every travesty upon mankind inflicted by other men. thanks for sharing that, it gives me a lot of insight

Huh. That's just about the most retarded thing I've ever read on fark, in impeccably poor format as well.

/WW 1& 2 were HARDCORE all about the money.

Do you see what happens larry?!

OK.
Now I have to take back all my snarky posts from earlier this day. This is too important. This occupation has to end. Fark you if you've now taken the stance that we need to protect these people. If that is indeed your stance, you probably previously posted the always humorous "Glass. Parking. Lot." here on Fark.
We vacate.
See what happens.
And actually, that has been the same strategy you warmongers have thrust upon this nation and theirs since the beginning.
Invade.
See what happens.
Fark you if you disagree with me.
YOU and I mean capital Y-O-U have been ruining our country goddamn it.

Cue the silly Canadians who think that Canada won the War of 1812...

Who is "we"? Do you mean Napoleon finally failing to take Russia, or do you mean the British in North America repelling the US invasion?

Humean_Nature: Bullets and bombs don't. farking. work. you moron. If they did, we would have happily killed all the troublemakers

You haven't used enough bombs or enough bullets to kill all the troublemakers. Don't be such a defeatist.

He_Hate_Me: Cue the silly Canadians who think that Canada won the War of 1812...

Pfff nice try. Canada did not win that war until 1867!

Alright - who let John McCain on TF?

I would rather have the commander in chief of the United States armed force be someone who actually discharged a weapon during his military service than some asshat who spent the whole time candying up his nose. McCain may be a nutjob, but he earned the right to be a nutjob the old fashioned way, with many an onion tied to his belt.

/harumph

I predict this will end badly.

Police refuse to fire on Mahdi army - turn their guns over instead.

In Baghdad, news agencies reported that many Shia were deserting from the Iraqi police force in what could turn into a stampede away from the central government.

About 40 policemen in Sadr City handed over their weapons to al-Sadr's local office, one of the policemen said yesterday. 'We can't fight our brothers in the Mahdi army, so we came here to submit our weapons,' one policeman said, on the condition he remained anonymous for security reasons.

A group of about a dozen uniformed police, their faces covered with masks to shield their identity, met local Sheik Salman al-Feraiji, al-Sadr's chief representative in Sadr City, who gave them each a copy of the Koran and an olive branch as they handed over their guns and ammunition.

Danack

That's...powerful imagery right there.

Nuke.

Orbit.

Sure.

Al Sadr has a lot more support of the people than Maliki. Too bad Bush wants Maliki, because Maliki actually likes US.

tuna fingers: We vacate.
See what happens.

That has been tried in many parts of Iraq. It's worked everywhere except where the Mehdi Army is.

Is it me or does this man resemble some form of Star Wars supervillain?

Can you sat Tet Offensive?

studebaker hoch: Nuke.

Do you know who else earnt the right to be a nutjob the old fashioned way?

GWB makes me think 2 thoughts, "Where's my alcohol" and "Where's my xanax".

SphericalTime

MAD.

Iraq? A nuclear superpower? I think you overestimate their chances.

Assassinating al-Sadr is a good idea?

It'll be like the post occupation, with our troops in the middle.

Settle in, we're in it for a loooooong time

Al-Sadr used to be a convenient scapegoat for the US, but now with the violence dropping in Iraq I'm sure his resurfacing will be viewed as a bad thing by the US military. I'm guessing he'll show up dead soon.

I say pop him in the head. They should have done it about 1.5 years ago. Now, I would just pull our troops out and say fark them.

So, does this mean all those Enemy Combatants/Terrorists/Islamist Fighters/Secular Forces/Etc. are going to be upgraded to "Army" status in the media? I find it bizarre that they are not titled "enemy soldiers", but always some sort of generic evil term to describe a brown dude with a gun.

At least they car pool.

Nein, erleuchten Sie mich bitte.

Chinese_Torture_Socks: I say pop him in the head. They should have done it about 1.5 years ago. Now, I would just pull our troops out and say fark them.

Uh... forgive me, but if you would urge the pulling out of US troops, then what does it matter if he stays? You would rather kill the man, make him a martyr, and leave it for another one to assume his position?

He is pretty much right and those who think his death will solve anything do not know the power of a Martyr.
