"The Shiiti militia leader has resumed studies to obtain the title ayatollah..."
What happens after he becomes an ayatollah???  |

we should've killed him in the summer of 2003, then mopped up his Mahdi Army remnant as well!

I guess that would explain the stray "IDF" that we had recently. Apparently Mr. ****** bag can't control the radicals within his party. Can't wait till the Shi'ite hits the fan with his rival.
I agree we should have smoked his azz when we had the chance, which was often. |

Al-Sadr made a terrible mistake, when he suspended his resistance to U.S. occupation. He didn't know at the time -the Americans certainly weren't going to tell him- that Shiites would become the principal targets of the the U.S. military -and Sunnis would be the principal beneficiaries- of the surge. While one Shiite stronhold after another was being attacked, Al-Sadr was holding his fire. What did he get for it? Nothing!
As I commented on a discussion board regarding his decision to extend the ceasefire, he has become as irrelevant to the resistance to American domination over his countrymen as the Ayatollah Sistani. Both made the tragic mistake of giving the Americans the benefit of the doubt. I believe that it is now widely recognized by the Iraqis that the Americans are too powerful and too destructive to oppose openly. To the vast majority of Americans, this will be considered a success: that through the force of arms we have conquered and cowered a country and its people. While in doing so, the damage to our country has been great but unmeasureable. The cost to us will become better understood somewhere down the road. |

Well, I am glad that you are formulating strategies for the enemy. I guess it would have been better for his countrymen to continue to try and kill U.S. forces and in the meantime gun down any woman or child that happened to be in the way of the bullets or bombs. It seems like it is getting a little better over there, and we have people like you saying why and how it still should be a daily bloodbath. The truth of the matter, if it wasn't for our generosity (or stupidity) he would be counting his virgins a couple of times over now. So really, he should be thanking us as he goes over to "worship" (or talk to the iranians about the next plan of action) that we haven't sent him on his fairy magical trip to the non-existent Allah.

Given his past history and statements, not sure I believe this is a real split. It may be more along the lines of being able to publicly disavow their actions while privately taking credit for them.
Back when we first started cracking down there were multiple news stories on how the ‘so-called’ independent Death Squad Leaders were being hunted down and killed by his ‘security’ personnel to prevent them from telling that they had been getting their orders from him all along. |

Just a quickie...Are you for*****kingreal? I see some dumb shceit posted here but yours at definitely at the top. NEWSFLASH- The reason we are raiding Shi'ite stringholds is because of those that continue to attack and kill. If you think that Sadr or Sistani is irrelevant then you really need to take a little trip over here and go into the neighborhood I was in a couple of weeks ago. Sorry, but you don't know jack about the situation here in Iraq right now.

Very good point and some of us have said the same thing. If he distances himself from continued fighting he can still continue to build up his militias, hoodwink us and wait for the right time. Just look at Basrah. Though it seemed under control, it has gone to hell since the Brits left.

Actually, I do feel some regret for the mistakes made by Al-Sadr. His father made the ultimate sacrifice defying Saddam Hussein. Yet he chose "diplomacy and politics" over defiance and Death, and chose to "live to fight another day".
Who knows if his prudence won't reward him. But, many Shiites fought against the American occupiers, inspired by his name and the name of his father, and were killed in the process. It will be very tough for him to become the leader of an Iraq, free from American military rule, after this. |

Actually.. we should have killed his daddy and other relatives back in 1979 when the pin head radicals took over the US Embassy. If we had shown some balls back then, this bone head wouldn't have been born. BUT.. you know the old saying, "hindsight is 20/20".. Now that the cancer has had almost 30 years to spread, its time to put put in place the cure, so this bastard & all his little cancer cells to sleep. Whats taking so long?!! Just my two cents. Stay Safe All |

We had him at one time we bomb the "SHIA" out of him but we let him slip away, then he came back more powerful.
Now he has an army and at some point or another we well have to deal with him agin, I'm really suprised he hasent staged a koo to try to take the government for himself like komni did in IRAN. |

"American Occupiers" that is classic. You are about 180 from every SF person that I have/ work(ed) with. In case you missed it the Shi'ites in Iraq now have the power because of our occupation. Had the militias under Al-Sadr and Hakim not allowed themselves to become puppets for the Iranians, and laid down their arms and worked with the U.S to stop violence and rebuild Iraq there wouldn't be any problems.
Unfortunately they cannot put aside their petty differences, nor can the shake the influence of their masters in Tehran.

I believe the reduction of violence starting in the summer was caused by the ceasefire between al sadre's army and the americans.
now there is a rift, and right away the suicide bombings are getting more frequently. http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=53148 my point there is that i think the surge didn't really cause the reduction in violence. it might have helped a little bit, but it was mainly the ceasefire. now that al sadr is losing control, i think we will see a major increase in violence again. |
