al-Sadr continued, "Let's not mention anymore the murder indictment against me, or how I tried to turn Iraq into bloody civil war."

So now its hudna time. He'll live to fight another day.

If ever there was a time for somebody to be holding up an "It's A Trap" sign, this is it. Al Sadr needs to be shot a lot and immediately--not later or just a little.

Yep, Smack, it's past time to avail "Mookie" to his raisins and send a message to Iran. Past time.

Since US withdrawal from many Iraqi militia hotspots, Sadr's fellow Iraqi clerics have stopped issuing fatwas against the US occupiers and instead focused their disapproval on Sadr.

Mr Sadr, a firebrand whose militia has fought US forces since March, but lately have been thugging their own people, called for a new start, new underwear, and an end to conflict, according to witnesses.

Al Sadr on the transition to Iraqi rule, "This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who".

Given the serious nature of the situation in Iraq, which is largely due to our making, it would seem more sensible to cautiously welcome sadr's new attitude to the interim gov. rather than make infantile remarks about his underwear
