Watch out. The US military expedition in Iraq is looking for any excuse to get Moqtada Sadr. They missed the opportunity a little over a year ago——they will not let this one slip by. Say good night to the folks Moqtada!

I guess this should be considered as another glorious achievement to be added to the glories of evil Bush and gang! The sadly tragic thing about all this is that future generations of American children will be forced to study this as American history! And I am sure, it will all be embellished to look great!

I guess the Shiite decided to have a surge of their own.
Give them back their country with its myriad problems and leave.

And I thought the people passing out the Kool-aid were saying everything is going just great in the Iraq money pit. Go figure.
I guess the payoffs didn’t get to militia groups on time this month. Either that or they found out the dollar isn’t worth a crap anymore and just want to keep the oil for themselves.
Is that a Haliburton corporate logo on the AK47 in the picture? Advertising does matter at Bu$h Inc.

Bush, Cheney, and the client regime in Baghdad are making their move to grab southern Iraq’s oil (over 80% of Iraq’s oil is there). They are having to fight against the people of southern Iraq defending the oil.
