Mookie lead many of his followers to their death in the Najaf uprisings.
They negotiated out after a thorough ass kicking and left behind in the holy city of Najaf slaughtered people caught in their path in that holy shrine.
The idea that he would allow another one to be destroyed to further his power is not out of the realm of possibility.
Mookie should have been finished off in Najaf.
Oh, I quite agree. I detest that creep.
Mookie was also indirectly reponsible for the deaths of four of my civlian co-workers on a fuel convoy just outside of Baghdad in April '04. I'll never forget that.
But I'm not calling the shots around here. I am a mere spectator.
