Yep......I don''t know if we can goof this up any more than we already have politically, militarily, and financially? Yikes.

I totally agree. He''''s the one really running the coalition of Shias in Iraq and NOT Maliki.....he''''s just a puppet of Bush and has certainly not made any strong coalitions.

Obviously we''ve been working with the wrong groups in seeking political reconciliation in Iraq. Especially since they''re having free and open elections this fall, and the Shia are expected to sweep the polls -- AGAIN.

Muqtada al-Sadr''''s played a very long and clever game.

%u201CWhy we stand for immediate withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq%u201D

%u201CTHE U.S. occupation of Iraq has not liberated the Iraqi people, but has made life worse for most Iraqis.%u201D

%u201CTens of thousands of U.S. service people have been killed or maimed, and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis have lost their lives as a result of the U.S. invasion in 2003, the ongoing occupation, and the violence unleashed by them.%u201D

%u201CIraq''s infrastructure has been destroyed, and U.S. plans for reconstruction abandoned. There is less electricity, less clean drinking water, and more unemployment today than before the U.S. invasion.%u201D

%u201CAll of the justifications initially provided by the U.S. for waging war on Iraq have been exposed as lies; the real reasons for the invasion %u2014 to control Iraq''s oil reserves and to increase U.S. strategic influence in the region %u2014 now stand revealed.%u201D

%u201CThe Bush administration has insisted again and again that stability, democracy, and prosperity are around the next bend in the road%u2026But the U.S. has deliberately stoked sectarian divisions in its ongoing attempt to install a U.S.-friendly regime, thus driving Iraq towards civil war.%u201D

%u201CWe call on the U.S. to get out of Iraq %u2014 not in six months, not in a year, but now.%u201D

Very good point.

[randynason]

Those Iraqis seem so ungrateful for all the freedom and democracy we have brought to them with all of our best intentions. What a world- what a world- [sarcasm]

That''s a funny comment, coming from a poster with a perfect record of failure to make a valid point.
