We're so used to Islamic clerics talking this way that we no longer take any notice. But remember: this is a religious leader. He has devoted his life to study of the Qur'an. How has he missed all of its peace and nonviolence? From AP:
NAJAF, Iraq - A radical cleric whose loyalists battled U.S. troops for a fifth straight day vowed Monday to fight to the death, and a suicide attacker detonated a car bomb northeast of the capital, killing six people and wounding the deputy governor who was the intended target, officials said.Explosions and gunfire were heard throughout the holy Shiite city of Najaf and U.S. helicopters hovered overhead as U.S. troops tried to drive Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militiamen from a vast cemetery they have repeatedly used as a base. A U.S. tank rolled within 400 yards of Najaf's holiest site, the Imam Ali Shrine, also held by militiamen....
Al-Sadr vowed to keep up the battle.
"I will continue fighting," al-Sadr told reporters. "I will remain in Najaf city until the last drop of my blood has been spilled."
Then, Mr. al Sadr, death you shal have. No more ball Park Franks for you, fat boy.
Can someone please shoot this fanatic already. How many innocent lives, Iraqi and American and otherwise, does this maniac have to cost before he is finally given the martyrdom he so desires?
lets go on and dispatch fat boy to meet his beloved allah....
one less to have to listen to and deal with
As this guy al-Sadr wants to fight to his death, we should not let the fight drag on for too long. Give him what he seeks. We should not let this cleric and his "Mahdi army" play the usual Islamic game with us: ceasefires followed by renewed attacks.
More rants; the imams should hire someone to come up with new material -- its getting a bit stale.
Give the guy his virgins now!
It still amazes me that this lunatic is still around. You would think some Iraqis` would rat him out, given that he has demonstrated no compunction in the killing of other Iraqis` time and time again.
Maybe his wishes are getting closer to coming true. I would like to think that Sheikh Sistani may have had more than one reason for going to Britain other than medical treatment.
I must be missing something here,was that a threat he tried to make. I say take him out now,if he hides in the Mosque he'll be able to feed of his fat for about 5 months.
He doesn't appear to brush his teeth or bathe
so the fake virgins in paradise will be his best bet to get laid or even see his penis in the mirror.
I really don't want a drag-out trial with his antisemitic diatribes spewing from that budgy face and beadie eyes. Since he has a following,
when the bitching starts I say we mail them a quarter to phone somebody that gives a F**K,cause
I know I won't.
Just take the shackles off the military & this a-hole will be turned into a footnote of history immediately.
One thing that REALLY bugs me - when western media continually refer to "holy cities". They need to STOP that nonsense. There is NOTHING holy anywhere in muslim enslaved lands, yet the media continually preface everything with "holy" : holy cemetary, holy mosque, HOLY SHIT!!!!
Haven't we heard this before? Yea just before he put up his white flag?
Chalib in Iran? could he be trying to get more terrorist for sader? heard we killed over 360 of saders terrorist?
All we have to do is surrond the mosque and when they come out pop goes another Squirrel!!
Seams the Iraqis want us to take out the mosque we will wait for them to come out! They will run out of food soon and the water can be cut off WOW think of the tollets and the over flow??

PS
Iraq will be FREE
Lets see, this guy and his rag tag solders against our Army. I wonder who will win? Kinda like Bin Laden, he has lost also, its just a matter of time and having the patience to wait for God to deliver him into our hands! But that is only the beginning there are millions more Bin Ladens, all Muslims are Bin Ladens! Islam has but one purpose, to take over! Remove all other religions, kill those who don’t convert. What a place the world will be when Islam gets its way and turns the world into some poor backward 3rd world county. Look at all the counties under Islam today and see if you would want to live in anyone of them!
Where is the outrage in the muslim world about the hijacking of the Najaf mosque by Al Sadr?
The silence is deafening.
Maybe one way to flush out the militants in the mosque is to put up cartoon posters of Al Sadr around the mosque, along with running commentary over loudspeakers by our psyops teams.
Make fun of him. Ridicule him. Laugh at him.
Let their insulted honor drive him and his minions from their rat's nest into the open.
Then deal with them.

I generally agree with the policy of the US Government and most other enlightened states on the folly of giving in to terrorist demands. But in this case, I believe we should make and exception and give him what he is asking for and so richly deserves - See ya Mukki
Sadr and his militia= Spanky, Alfalfa, and the rest of the "He-man woman haters club"
Kill him already.
Jim, I could not agree more.
For a CULT like Islam to use the term “holy” is absurd at any time. What in God’s name, is holy about any of these Iraqi cess pools.
These maggot holes and their rotting religion are the cancer of our world. Isalm uses these s-holes to seek the death and destruction of “infidels” in pursuit of the teachings of the pedophile Mohammed and his satanic Allah.
I say no more, screw their mosques, screw their cities, screw Islam.
Why should we play by the Marquis of Queensbury rules when these bastards hide behind their women, their children, their mosques and their (a-holey) cities.
The liberal that I used to be is dead. My compassion and tolerance for anything Islamic has been replaced with a deep disgust and loathing. I Want Islam CRUSHED, without mercy.
Islam has declared war on all non-muslims around the world.
There is no question that it is going to take more massacres by these Islamic morons, but ultimately the West will respond.
When they do, I trust bloody allah will provide the huge number of virgins that are going to be required.
Know Peace. NO ISLAM!!

Islam is providing this world no intellect, no creativity, no industry, no productivity of any kind, no art, no music, no theatre, no compassion and no intelligent thought.
Islam offers this world nothing but death, destruction, rhetoric, deception and mindless adherence to a Manson–like cult.
Like a mosquito Islam sticks its poisonous beak into the earth to suck out its oil and use liquid gold to spread its invasive larvae. Like a mosquito Islam wishes to suck secular, tolerance, compassion, love, joy and kindness from the world in a binge of beheading, bombing, mutilation and mind-numbing ignorance.
Let’s treat this plague with the contempt it deserves.
Turn on the light and let’s swat the annoying blood-sucking bug that is Islam.
Toro
That was a threat?? BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
The Israelis learned long ago that whacking the leaders of these factions has the opposite effect that policy makers expect. The fear is that kicking them off the planet will inflame their followers and cause more problems than it solves. Such fears turn out to be completely unfounded. As a matter of fact, as the recent IDF experience in Gaza has clearly demonstrated, lopping off the heads of these factions actually spawns internal strife such that their cohesion is untenable. The reason is that they are all personality cults that naturally arise out of the tribal traditions of their adherents. Even after nearly two millenia of contact with civilizations that have learned to transcend the tribal traditions to form higher order social constructs, the islamic world seems to be incapable of scaling up to these higher orders. So they are stuck in the tribalism that is codified by their islamic ideology. In tribal societies public choice mechanisms do not usually involve much more than headman dictates. Al-Sadr is just another tribal headman and the best way to deal with these characters is to just put their lights out, wait for the possiblity that one or two headman wannabes might pop their heads up when he gets whacked, then kick them off the planet. There isn't usually much depth to the succession structure of these cults so one or two whacks usually takes care of the problem for quite some time to come.
I think that the other mulsums will be very upset with these terrorist when they get their mosque back and it is full of sh-t like the church in pristina is and the church in bethleham was when the terrorst took it !!
Our guys are doing the right thing the Iraqis said take out the mosque but let them stay where they are cut all power and water and they will have the mess from mulsums in their holly place and will see these people are not with them!
We are winning and if they come out kill them!! so far we have killed 360?
I claim the Whole USA as Holy Land!!
Any one who would bring harm to her will suffer the curse of a thousand Hell-Fires!!!

Fat Boy Mo al-Sadr has been ranting on about spilling ' his last drop of blood' for yonks! Trouble is everyone else's bloods gets spilled except his...This ambitious thug has had his Aide killed[remember one who tried to knife him] and is wanted for murder of a fellow cleric. Reckon it is time Mo gets the Chop, himself and lets hope
72, 72yr old virgins are waiting to greet him...

Nice post Mike. There's alot of good things going on in Iraq, and we need to support their desire to be the only other free country in the ME which is the best way to protect ourselves in the long run.

The chief of Najaf IP, brigadier Ghalib Al Jazaeri was interviewed by Al Sharqyia TV today and gave some important statements. Mr. Ghalib confirmed the IP control over the majority Najaf and said that Al Mahdi militia are besieged in small areas. He also said that most of them are surrendering and that among the 1200 captured till now there are 1000 from outside Najaf (Basra, Kut, Amarah, Baghdad) and 4 of them were Iranians who confessed that they have joined the Mahdi army. Those 4 were Transferred to Baghdad for “The importance of the information they have”.
The man’s anger was showing and he slammed his hand against the meeting table as he said that Muqtada’s militia are the ones who broke the truce, as the truce depended on many conditions among which is the disappearance of armed men from the streets and their departure from the city, and that never happened. Also the so-called “legitimate court” founded by Muqtada was still there and was functioning despite the truce and even ‘arrested’ IP members and was trying to prosecute them! He also affirmed that the militia were the ones who started attacking the police station and the city hall.
Mr. Ghalib confirmed that there will be no negotiation with those who he described as “evil that we must get rid of” and repeated that no one is above the law, and resented the attempts of “The Sheát House” to help start negotiation with Sadr and he said that he still have the warrant of Muqtada’s arrest and he’s working on this persistently. He mentioned that yesterday he was in front of Muqtada’s house with a group of IP and ING but the door was closed and no one was in the house.
He made it clear that he will arrest Muqtada as soon as he find him and that he was a law man and has nothing to do with what politicians are trying and he will carry on with his orders and will enforce law. The police chief insisted that Muqtada was still in Najaf according to his information and he finally said that he won’t hesitate to ask for support and back up from the multinational force which he describes as “friends” to get the “evil” out of the city of Najaf.
I must say that I liked what the man said and especially his tone and strong dedication to do his job regardless of the dangers he may face and is facing now.
Also his statement that most of the thugs were from outside Najaf rule out all the claims that this is an uprising, as if it was so then we would’ve seen the people of the city themselves revolting in large numbers but the fact is that Muqtada has gathered his criminals from many cities and focused on Najaf and Baghdad only because he knew he wouldn’t find enough people to support him had he depended on the people of Najaf alone. While the fights in other cities were small compared to Baghdad and Najaf and there was absolutely no fights in the rural areas which shows that the distribution of fighters was planned to focus on important areas only, and this ensures more media coverage which in my mind is one of the main goals of such movement, as it’s clearly supported and planned by outside parties which are dying to show Iraq as an unstable and hopeless place. Besides we all saw how the people of Najaf were delighted to see the IP control the city again in the previous revolt after many days of fighting. Also an uprising is a reaction rather than a planned action and here the percentage of the fighters from outside the city show clearly that this is closer to a planned revolt.
I also admired the man honesty and courage in calling things by their names on TV especially calling Muqtada “evil” and coalition forces “ friends”. I hope the government depend more and more on people like this man who I heard from my friends in Najaf that he’s a very good and respected man.
Hey Toro,
I agree with you 100%. Like you I was a live-and-let-live kind of liberal and like you I have become so sickened by the violence and intolerance of Islam that I want to see it eradicated from our planet. We are fighting for our future here - and liberals clinging to their PC notions will only make the battle longer and harder than it needs to be.
LOVE LIVE - HATE ISLAM!!!
MO HAM HEAD IS THE GREAT SATAN !!
I'd love to see an Israel vs Yassin thing - that bloated grub blasted into his paradise where he stands, leaving a smoking hole and a few pieces of singed blubber. That would solve the problem. But, oooh, he's in a "holy city" so you can't do that, according to the new PeeCee Rules of Engagement that hobbles the Coalition Forces. And worse yet, he might be in a "sacred", "holy" mosque, and oooh, you can't be so barbaric as to bomb such a place.
It would bring the wrath of the entire world down on the US's head. They'd drag Bush before an international court and try him as a war criminal. And any and every soldier involved. But in the meantime, that scum can cause the murder of countless Coalition forces and innocent Iraqis, and that's okay. Afterall, he's a "spiritual leader", like Yassin was.
We're fighting two enemies: Islam and the PC world. Bomb that black-clad puke & his cohorts to their paradise, and move on to the next target. Those next targets would probably be waving white flags with their hands in the air since they'd have respect for their opponent's power. Now, they're just thumbing their noses at us, feeling very empowered, because of our weak girlie-man way of fighting.
PS, I mean absolutely no disrespect to our personnel in Iraq, with the "girlie-man" comment. That's not a reflection on their efforts, but my frustration with the way we're held back from getting the job done. The PCness of this war.
One of the posters here was asking the question""what kind of world would this be if it was dominated by islam?"....read Carmen Bin Ladin`s book "Inside the kingdom" and you will get the idea .
It wouldn`t be a world anylonger,it would be hell on earth.
Let`s not allow that to happen to our beloved country,let`s not follow into the footsteps of dhimmi France and the rest of Europe.
We are americans and proud of it,this is America and we should rather die than allowing it to be taken over by the malignant islamic cult.
Seen this fatso on the news, always stuffing his face with pork pies and slurring how he's going to fight in Najaf and I quote "until his last drop of blood has been spilt", as though he's had a premonition.
Remember Mr.Sadr ,or Saddo as I'd rather call you, fat twats make bigger targets
Catherine ,
you know what these mzzies are like, they can talk the talk (laughably) but when it comes to walking the walk, they fall and can't get up. 350 radical corpses lining the streets of Najar says it all, these clag-nuts stink at war.
I couldn't help but notice, Sadr looks a fair bit like Moore...
"I will continue fighting," al-Sadr told reporters. "I will remain in Najaf city until the last drop of my blood has been spilled."
Sounds like a plan!
You know, Gary, he DOES look like Moore!
We're having a sort of "Clean Sweep" around here, and we ran across a 1966 political cartoon that I wish I could show everybody. It was a soldier, bent over carrying a very large, heavy bag labeled "Politicans' War." It was drawn during the Viet Nam "action," but applies to the situation in Iraq too, especially to this Fallujah-Najaf etc. situation.
The reason we no longer officially declare war is because of the legal obligations it places on us; once war is declared, we are under obligation to do everything we can to WIN, and the politicians can't play their PC games.
I like that moore!!!
Rikki I know this! It is when they get luckey and kill a few of our guys that realy piss me off!
Yes we will kill many I pray for us not to lose any!
