Moqtada Sadr calls with calms after violences interchiites
NAJAF (Iraq) - the radical chief Moqtada Sadr Shiite called Thursday with Najaf his partisans with calms after violences which set ablaze the south of the country and Baghdad on bottom of competition with the party Shiite of the supreme Council of the Islamic revolution in Iraq (SCIRI).
"I call believing them to preserve the blood of the Moslems and to remain on their premises", declared Mr. Sadr with the press, while addressing to his partisans.
Two people have be killed and 15 others wounded in violences implying of partisans of Mr. Sadr which burst in many towns of Iraq, since the clashes of Wednesday evening with Najaf which made five died and seven wounded, according to a new assessment.
The partisans of Sadr attacked, in many cities and districts Shiites of Baghdad, permanences of the SCIRI, shown to be responsible for violences with Najaf.
This guy is nothing but trouble. Someone needs to put a boot in his a**.
He shouldn't have been allowed to live after Fallujah. He's responsible for many dead Americans and needs to be held accountable.
This means the weasal fears him and his followers are going to get their butts kicked by the opposing group. HAHA!
Clashes between Shiite groups reported in Baghdad, Najaf, and Samawah ping
How can we expect Israel to make peace with these rabid animals if they cannot even keep from blowing themselves upon each other? There is no Peace in Islam, only war.
Its no wonder we kidked their asses in the fastest land war in the history of mankind, their language sounds like it was translated by somekind of machine. ^)
"Moqtada Sadr calls with calms after violences interchiites"
- I suppose this means he was losing. God these guys are so predictable.
I was going to say the same thing...he's losing.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Sadr causes tempers to flair, then calls for calm. Guess he's read Clinton's book.
We did starting in April 2004. He fled Baghdad and went to Karbala then elsewhere inciting violence against the Iraqi government and Coalition forces. The US forces were destroying large numbers of his militia in Baghdad, Karbala and elsewhere.
Several times we almost caught or killed him. At one point he was even injured from one of our drones that hit his motorcade with a Hellfire. But we took out some of his Lieutenants since he was in another vehicle. He got hurt in the arm though and you could see him all bandaged up preaching from his Mosque.
(Opinion)
It's a balancing act I believe. I think the Iraqi government nor the Coalition really wants to deal with the fallout of "taking him out." This would cause serious issues. Instead we will try to buy him into the process and over time even allow him to legitimize himself. Make him part of the establishment in Iraq. In the meantime there is a balance where he isn’t too much trouble and we aren’t going after him with all we have either.
