BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A representative of Muqtada al-Sadr has issued demands from the Shiite cleric for a truce between U.S. and Iraqi forces and fighters loyal to him.

Of course he can make the demands, and if the US doesn't agree CAIR will raise hell with the pubbies in the states.

Making demands? Sounds like the DNC is giving him talking points. Look for kerry to demand to be enthroned even after losing E.V. by 10-1 +!

I thought the last thing this guy said was that he would fight till the last drop of his blood was shed or something along that line. Sounds like he changed his mind.

So, what are the ethical considerations of killing his spokesman?

Well, maybe he is demanding his fight to the last drop? "Bad to the last drop", like coffee.

Hey! Didn't Al-Sadsack say he was going to "Fight until the last drop has fallen from my veins. Every darn drop. I insist you use a wetvac to suck all the blood out of me. Then have leeches placed on my body to be sure. And mosquitoes and vampire bats. Then put me in one of those things they smash cars with and press the blood out of me like a grape!"

Must have changed his mind? OK. Let's kill him tomorrow.

Kill him and his followers. Kill them all. That's what they've all been crowing about.

Just kill him.

No, he said it before he didn't say it.

I saw an article yesterday that said he got three wounds from shrapnel.

Who else do we know who supposedly got 3 wounds from shrapnel?

I'll bet he thinks he qualifies to run for president of Iraq!

It is at least the second truce.
