1 Is he for real? I don't want to waste my time if he's not. Sadr's militia are called by another name = "Hendi?" Sistani leaves the country for medical care and this guy breaks the peace accord and starts war all over again and the only reason why we have not whipped them and made them kiss Allah's behind is because it's a HOLY city?? So is Jerusalem, but you won't find me there! Another comment elsewhere are from Iraqi's who blame the Iranians - I'm not kidding, that's who they say are coming in there causing all the problems. Problems - right, that's putting it mildly. Yup, Iraqi's blame Iran and Syria. Now if these people were so well equipped, had all these weapons and whatnot, why didn't they revolt against Saddam instead of the people who are trying to help them??? I don't get it - so is this guy for real or what? ~C

2 Ok, on tv on all the channels, and Hammorabi website, all say that 80% of Najaf is stable; that Al Sadr has been injured but those reports are different. Of Course, he's held up in that famous and holy of holy mosque and they are trying to broker a peace with him and his group. WHY??? This has got to be incredibly frustrating for our military. Hey, they made a peace accord in April, too, but as soon as SISTANI left the country to seek medical care, Al Sadr went to work. A lot of people think that if this radical gets killed, he'll become a martyr BUT Iraqi's in that area actually PROTESTED about this guy - can you imagine them protesting? It's true; they want it stopped and ended so they protested Al Sadr to stop. He did. Also a british soldier was killed (in 8 days, only one troop was killed??) and a british journalist (probably embeded) was kidnapped and the video showed that they would kill him if the US and coalition destroyed that holiest of mosques used to hide out these Hehdi militants, Al Sadr and their weapons cache. Why don't we just bomb it and kill those bastards??!!?!?!? Get rid of them once and for all??? In keeping with my rant, why didn't these people do this when Saddam was in power?? Maybe if THEY had, WE would not have had to invade their country and lose so many of our troops. But I do not get the Iran connection. ~C

3 I don't think his reports are true.
