Mookie Al-Sadr, paunchy moderate-cleric-murderin' city-attacking Shiite rabble rouser, floated up from his hidey-hole and
the US and Saddam. He's been scarce since a warrant went out for his arrest in connection with the murder of a rival cleric.
Yeah, he's a creep. The actual news here is that Ahmed Chalabi is helping him negotiate the dismissal of the indictment. I am conflicted about Chalabi's role in Iraq; people who know far more about Iraq than I do are sharply divided about whether Chalabi is a true Iraqi patriot or a self-dealing opportunist. The Fox article is a little vague about Chalabi's role, but any association with al-Sadr looks bad for him.
Let's remember what else al-Sadr did besides allegedly arranging the murder of a respected, moderate Shiite cleric and being a suspect in assorted other assassinations and sundry other anti-US activities. He also destroyed a Gypsy village (Qawliya) for immorality back in 2004. His mob leveled the town with machine guns, RPG's, and mortars when the village refused to give up a woman to stand trial for prostitution in Sadr's kangaroo religious court. An excellent dossier on all his Sadrmizing can be found in, of all places, Newsweek.
This murdering thug must not be allowed to return to a place of public power and respectability in Iraq.

I think another reason he's had the balls to pop up is the news that Zarqawi MIGHT (stressed) be fatally wounded. Sadr was just one guy in the way for Zarqawi and the feeling was mutual. Problem for Sadr was that Zarqawi was far more powerful and well funded.

Zarqawi more well-funded? I think the Sadrmite gets his moolah from the mullahs of Iran. Zarqawi's probably strapped for cash, although he is certainly less of a whiny mama's boy.

Al-Sadr demands Americans leave Iraq
http://www.bakersfield.com/24hour/world/story/2399267p-10673718c.html
“Anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr came out of hiding Monday for the first time since his fighters clashed with American forces in August, delivering a fiery speech demanding that coalition forces leave Iraq and that Saddam Hussein be punished.”

Greg, we can read. See-Dubya gave us a link with the same information from the same source, an AP journalist. So, what was your point?

Sounds like a Finish version of a Somerset Maugham novel.
When you arrive at the Catholic faith Finn, you will have found the great truth.
Your walking on the RazorÂ’s edge, I hope you find the right answer before you fall off.

Lighten up, man. Just messing with the government officials a bit. I'll re-Lutheranize eventually, but perhaps some Taoism first =).

And there's no way I'll go Catholic for even a week. It's heretic Pope-,Jesus- and saint-worshipping, and way too much associated with pedofilia.

Perhaps the Jews are the only ones who are right then. They worship only God and have no particular person other people can say founded their religion, so their connection with God is more credible than a religions with a clear founder to question and call crazy cultleader.

Well, go ahead and embrace it young Finn. That would take you to a better place than where you are now.
The Great Church can take you from there home.We have many Jewish converts. YouÂ’re evolving!

I think people can't convert to Jewism, I hear you can only be Judaist if you weren't born a Jew.
I'll just go back to evangelish-Lutheran ATHEIST that I've always been. Best way for me. Being a PAGAN would be a lot more fun, since then I wouldn't even know of this stupid Yahweh messing up the world and running three religions, which he makes fight one another.

Finn,
If I could take away your keys to the sleigh, I would.

"Buddy, try the Al-Atkins" and "We must sit on the American Infidels and crush them beneath our enormous Islamic butt!"
The USA is still the most obese nation in the world the last time I checked... You should have captioned: "Will will track down and shoot the American Infidels who will not be able to run fast enough to escape us with their fat asses and the rest will die of heart attacks!"
