BREAKING NEWS: Al-Sadr calls for an end to Shiite revolt in south Iraq. More soon ...

[wolfpat]

Again?

[chasio649]

Reloading...

[tobyhill]

He loses every time so I'm not sure why the MSM thought it would be different this time?

[usconservative]

BAGHDAD - Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is offering to pull his fighters off the streets of Basra and other cities if the government halts raids against his followers and releases prisoners held without charge.

The offer is contained in a nine-point statement issued by his headquarters in Najaf.

Al-Sadr is demanding that the government issue a general amnesty and release all detainees. The statement said he also "disavows" anyone who carries weapons and targets government institutions, charities and political party offices.

There was no immediate comment from the government.

[DogBarkTree]

Just kill the POS.

[ryan71]

No! His bunch needs to bleed some more.

He knows his guys are getting wasted and if it goes too far, he loses power.

[Kakaze]

Crush him, decapitate him, end it now.

[I still care]

They were hoping.

[not2worry]

I'm sorry but someone needed to take this hack out years ago.

Evidently he is losing the crack down in Bashar. The Government needs to arrest this clown and let the chips fall where they may. He broke the current Iraqi law IMO and should be punished.

The people of Iraq need to get on with their lives and live in a democracy where a fear monger like this doesn't continue to roam the streets.

[tobyhill]

LOL. What an offer! The Iraqi troops have lost very few troops while Sadr has lost hundreds with hundreds more wounded or captured so Maliki would be a fool to take this crappy offer.

[penelopesire]

Rutt Roh..the democrats and the MSM will be deeply saddened by this news! They were hoping for a big blow up in Iraq heading into the fall elections.

[ICE-FLYER]

TRANSLATION

Al-Sader calls for end to Shiite revolt because he will be wiped out otherwise and wants to murder some more. So, to rebuild he needs some of his less than ignorant thugs left alive to chant on his behalf and help force youngboys into a lives that end when the bombs they strap to themselves detonate all fo the vain glory of a single satanic man.

There...that should do it.

Mookie is getting his a@@ handed to him (Yet again) and is (yet again) throwing in the towel before someone comes to claim his head.

Time to let those folks to come a-claim’in.

[karnage]

This is beautiful. Just as the Dinosaur Media wets its panties saying the crackdown isn’t working, Iraq is plunging into chaos, blah blah blah. It’s remarkable - without being even slightly surprising - that our lamestream media can be wrong, over and over, and shamelessly go on preaching defeat.

[ZX12R]

I think most people realized that this HAD to happen at some point. There is just no way around it, to move forward. Having large independent armies is a perpetual stumbling block toward a strong central government in control. Laying off the eradication now, would be the dumbest decision.

[The Forgotten Man]

Calling Dingy Harry Reid and Queen Bee Pelosi. Are you ready to make statements?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

BERLIN, April 29, 1945 - Reichschancellor Adolf Hitler called for a cease fire in war-torn Europe today. He offered to end the war on terms agreeable to all parties, with German forces withdrawing from France, and Russian and other allies withdrawing to the previously internationally agreed line determined by the still binding Ribbentrop-Molotov pact. The status of the Low Countries, Norway and Denmark would be decided by an impartial international tribunal.

The status of Jews and other “protected persons” within the Reich would be determined by German law, the Reichschancellor assured reporters.

Breaking... from PMSDNC

.......The Government needs to arrest this clown .....

For the record, his actual location is not known. He is widely presumed to be in Iran, beyond the reach of the Iraqi government.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

WTF?!? I thought last night there was a thread where he was saying he was in charge of the Mhadi Army ?

Did someone remind him that we have his DNA locked in to a DNA seeking missle or did he really just want to take the promotion to Capt. for the .last voyage of the Mhadi Titanic?

[usmcobra]

He can surrender to the authorities and accept his fate.

[taildragger]

Just kill the POS.

DBY,

Yes, but give Mossad the honors, in an nondescript fashion, you know, cell phone, car head rest etc. The cosmic-karmanic implications of letting them is something to ponder.

[tobyhill]

This will be the MSM’s out “the Middle-East is a very complicated place”.

That's what my first reaction was too. This is what, the fifth time Mookie has "surrendered?" He'll only cease to be a problem when he dies of lead poisoning inflicted by multiple gunshot wounds.

[nyyankeefan]

the iraquis and US should just take out this POS once and for all !!!!

[silverleaf]

By now the Shiites should know that the side with airpower ... wins.

Seriously, these guys must be genetically linked to the loser Palestinians who also never lose an opportunity to lose an oportunity (to learn to live with others)

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

We should have took this vermin out when we had him cornered in Najaf back in 2004. But knowwwwww....the U.S. government did not want to make him a martyr and let him go, hoping to co-opt him into the peace process that never happened in Iraq.

The lesson is, martyr them all!

[dearolddad]

Maliki would be a fool to take this crappy offer.

But... He will.

[Typical_Whitey]

I think the MSM was repoting this as a quagmire that the Iraqis were losing and Sadr’s guys were winning... hmmm Sorry MSM you got it wrong again... enough with the Liberal PRAVDA....

[arthurus]

If we permit another truce we will go through this stuff again. And again. Finish it now.

[Allegra]

BAGHDAD - Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is offering to pull his fighters off the streets of Basra and other cities if the government halts raids against his followers and releases prisoners held without charge.

Don't forget to have them stand down in the capital, too, you sorry POS.

[TexasCajun]

Fool me once, shame on me.

Fool me twice, shame on you!

Give this guy a suite at Club Gitmo!

[Lee'sGhost]

“Evidently he is losing the crack down in Bashar. “

Naw. I’m pretty sure the media has established that this like the Tet Offensive (which was handily defeated by our guys but turned into a defeat of us by the media) which means we have failed, Bush is an idiot and we should just surrender.

[rbg81]

No, he is hurting, but he has not lost. He is just calling for a truce until he can replenish his losses. Sue for a truce until you’re strong enough to break it again. This is right out of the Koran’s playbook (ya think our stategists would have read this by now).

[tobyhill]

I don’t think he will this time because he’s looking at the October elections.

[Allegra]

the iraquis and US should just take out this POS once and for all !!!!

He's in Iran.

So, the Iraqis can't do it, but I see no reasno why the U.S. shouldn't.

[tobyhill]

It's the timing in when the MSM makes these “Breaking News”. They know most people aren't awake at 7am Sunday and will hear little about it.

[G.Mason]

Just kill the POS

I second that motion.

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE

[Allegra]

...And my typing sucks. (Sigh...)

GRRRRRRR

[Typical_Whitey]

Hey Liberals look the Iraqi’s are winning the War on Terror... Maybe you wish the freedom loving Iraqi’s were the ones that were dying sorry liberals you are on the wrong side of History.... AGAIN....

[Tijeras_Slim]

Shame his followers can’t recognize him for the loser and chicken**** he is.

[waimea.man]

CNN.com currently has an article with the headline: “Iraq fighting death toll nears 300”. Nowhere in the article do they say that the vast majority of the deaths are insurgent/terrorist scum. They just say “Iraqis”. No agenda there.

[xkaydet65]

Not to be contrary here, but orbat.com, no lefty, has a very different take on Mookie’s uprising and Malicki’s response to it.

[andyandval]

Ditto that.

Wherever he may be and whatever it takes.

It's long past time to put Mookie to sleep.

Face down in the dirt.

[Typical_Whitey]

Exactly... The MSM already tried to spin this as very difficult for the Iraqis and our guys.... They were saying it wasn’t looking good blah blah... I guess you have to parse who they are talking about sometimes you know... Like Its not looking good for the terrorist is bad news ??? Thats how wacked out the left has become...

[Allegra]

For the record, his actual location is not known. He is widely presumed to be in Iran, beyond the reach of the Iraqi government.

Oh, he's in Iran. He's a chickensh!t.
