"Al Sadr will be next...unless you Dems allow him to escape to a cave - or Iran"

Either Leiberman is disciple of the fruitcake wing of Republican party, or he's actually a liberal who acts the part of a Bush muppet and spouts out truly ridiculous statements in order to make republicans look bad. Either way he's good for a laugh

[clestes-2009]

Has he been released yet??

It is about time we get tough. This fat pig Sadr will get his big fat disgusting ugly butt kicked to hell.

"In the interview with La Repubblica, al-Sadr said his militias would not fight back during the Muslim holy month of Muharram, saying it was against the faith to kill at that time. "

ObservantX seems to be the only one who noticed what the above statement is.



It's Pure propaganda by the american government, and spread by their propagandist corporate owned mainstream media; and nothing else.

The invasion of Iraq is now 4 years old, we have had this holy month 'Muharram' at least what three times. Does anyone recall any previous months, in the last 4 years where there was even a lull in fighting or killing.


the problem is to many people relying on the propagandist corporate owned mainstream media, to be informed. When you only end up mis-informed, as that is big medias job.

"In the interview with La Repubblica, al-Sadr said his militias would not fight back during the Muslim holy month of Muharram, saying it was against the faith to kill at that time. "

Yep, the rest of the time, Allah says it is okay to kill! What a sick and twisted faith, no matter how many muslims say it is a peaceful one.

If it can be interpreted in this manner by muslims reading the Koran, it's twisted and a lousy book to read and live your life by.

We're not doing a thing, Al Maliki is in their payroll, fighting terrorists is "not in the best interests of the United States"...

What other sh*t and lies are you going to come up with? Or will Botox girl defer to her equally dumb colleagues Banana Boat Obama or the Cuckolded Shrew from New York?

How about Traitor John???

Hey lieberman18,

You can try and blame the Dems all you want, but the reality is that Bush and his corrupt admin have made monumental stuff ups in Iraq which have cost the US over 3000 American lives and well over $400 billion.

How could you hate America so much that you would continue to support that idiot Bush and the rest of his corrupt clown posse?

While fatcat Cheney and the rest of the corrupt neo-cons rake in the bucks, American troops continue to lay down their lives for those (morally) corrupt as*holes.

Quite frankly, I don't care if you and the rest of your Republicanazis hate America so much - it's quite obvious that the Dems love America far more than any Republicanazis ever could pretend.

You did the one thing that lieberman18 can't stand - you talked to him reasonably. That drives him away every time. To engage him, you have to ramble incoherently about something completely off topic, name call, and anything else that a spoiled 12 year old would do.

[changeit4]

lieberman18,

Can you attempt to make some sense amidst the name-calling? How are the Democrats going to lose al-Sadr or bin Laden? How could you possibly characterize that as worse than the 3014+ lives the Republicans have cost America? What progress can you concoct to justify the cost?

Like your GOP counterparts, you're long on emotion and short on sense. You're of no use to America now.

THE URL, ABOVE, WILL GIVE YOU ACCESS TO MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ONE AMERICAN'S COURAGEOUS STAND AGAINST THE WAR IN IRAQ.

ANOTHER PARTIAL QUOTE FOLLOWS:

"Out of a deeply held belief that the war in Iraq is both illegal and immoral, Lt. Watada refused to deploy. His decision has since mobilized dozens of anti-war activist groups who have eagerly adopted his cause to put a face to their movement. It has also alienated him from his superiors in the military."

"to stop an illegal and unjust war, the soldiers can choose to stop fighting it. They must remember duty to the Constitution and the people supersede the ideologies of their leadership. The soldier must be willing to face ostracism by their peers, worry over the survival of their families, and of course the loss of personal freedom. They must know that resisting an authoritarian government at home is equally important to fighting a foreign aggressor on the battlefield."

"After the Sept. 11 attacks, Lt. Watada was moved by a profound sense of duty and patriotism and enlisted in the Army right out of college in 2003."

[marcelde]

REGARDING LT. WATADA'S COURAGEOUS STAND:


"He offered to serve in Afghanistan, a war he considers unambiguously tied to Al Qaida, but was turned down. He also said he was willing to face a nonjudicial hearing, resign his commission, and accept a less-than-honorable discharge. But this, too, was denied.

Lt. Watada did not apply for conscientious-objector status because he does not oppose all wars, just the war in Iraq."
