al-Sadr Calls for "New Start;" Backs US Transfer of PowerNot that we're all big fans of al-Sadr. But this would seem further evidence of al-Sadr's political isolation (and military defeat). Radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr has reportedly backed for the first time US moves to gradually hand powers over to an interim Iraqi government. Mr Sadr, a firebrand whose militia has fought US forces since March, called for a new start and an end to conflict, according to witnesses. But his supporters clashed with members of a pro-US faction in nearby Najaf. Stones and shoes were thrown in the clash at the shrine of Imam Ali leaving several people injured and forcing the cancellation of Friday prayers. Mr Sadr added that the formation of the government was a good opportunity to bury past differences and "forge ahead toward the building of a unified Iraq". There has not been any official reaction to Mr Sadr's conciliatory speech in Kufa, where he delivers fiery Friday sermons at the main mosque every week. posted by Ace at 02:47 PM
Commentsal-Sadr continued, "Let's not mention anymore the murder indictment against me, or how I tried to turn Iraq into bloody civil war." Posted by: Clark on June 11, 2004 03:31 PM
So now its hudna time. He'll live to fight another day. Posted by: Golden Boy on June 11, 2004 05:35 PM
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. Posted by: Smack on June 12, 2004 01:32 PM
Yep, Smack, it's past time to avail "Mookie" to his raisins and send a message to Iran. Past time. Posted by: kelly on June 12, 2004 05:20 PM
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". Posted by: WindyCity on June 14, 2004 10:45 AM
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 Posted by: peter wright on August 12, 2004 10:38 AM

From Archimedes: Democrats are really now arguing that it's time to open the Big Tent to Nazis:
At Insty:Link to Ed Driscoll's post here Black Conservative Perspective says there's a "Woke Civil War" going on in the left over this Nazi, with Race Marxists -- mostly black -- absolutely determined to cancel him, while the straight-up Communists -- mostly white rich-bitch nepo babies -- are fighting like hell for him. As many have noted: Communists are always willing to make a tactical alliance with Nazis. (And, of course, Communists are just totalitarian socialists with an internationalist foreign policy, while Nazis are totalitarian socialists with a nationalist foreign policy. They're two anti-human peas in a pod.) The white communists are fighting hard for this guy because he is an open, avowed communist, and they think his completely-fake "normal blue-collar guy" persona can be used to do what they cannot do, sell communism to the working class.
