U.S.: Militant Cleric Fled Iraq For Iran

Al-Sadr Thought To Be In Tehran; Top U.S. General Questions Claims That Iran Is Arming Militants In Iraq

(CBS/AP)  A radical anti-American cleric fled Iraq for Iran ahead of a security crackdown in Baghdad and President George W. Bush's influx of 21,500 U.S. troops, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday.

Muqtada al-Sadr left his Baghdad stronghold some weeks ago, the official said. Al-Sadr is believed to be in Tehran, where he has family. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss U.S. monitoring activities, said fractures in al-Sadr's political and militia operations may be part of the reason for his departure. The move probably is not permanent, the official said.

Word of al-Sadr's departure coincides with an announcement that Iraq will close its borders with Iran and Syria for 72 hours as part of the drive to end the violence that has threatened to divide the capital along sectarian lines.

Meanwhile, the top U.S. military officer said Tuesday the discovery that roadside bombs in Iraq contained material made in Iran does not necessarily mean the Iranian government was involved in supplying insurgents.

The comments by Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called into question assertions by three senior U.S. military officials in Baghdad on Sunday who said the highest levels of Iranian government were responsible for arming Shiite militants in Iraq with the bombs, blamed for the deaths of more than 170 troops in the U.S.-led coalition.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said Monday he was confident the weaponry was coming with the approval of the Iranian government.

Pace told reporters in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, that U.S. forces hunting militant networks in Iraq that produced roadside bombs had arrested Iranians and some of the materials used in the devices were made in Iran.

"That does not translate that the Iranian government per se, for sure, is directly involved in doing this," Pace said. "What it does say is that things made in Iran are being used in Iraq to kill coalition soldiers."

In other developments:

The House of Representatives began an emotional debate Tuesday on whether President Bush's decision to add more U.S. troops to the nearly four-year-old war in Iraq is a mistake that has to be reversed.

A suicide truck bomber blew himself up near a college and a ration office in a mainly Shiite area of the capital Tuesday, killing at least 15 people, officials said, a day after car bombs devastated a Baghdad marketplace. Tuesday's attack, which also wounded 27 people, was the latest in a series of bombings that came despite a U.S.-Iraqi security crackdown aimed at stopping the sectarian violence that has killed hundreds since the start of the year.

Iraq will close its borders with Syria and Iran for 72 hours as part of the drive to secure and pacify Baghdad, the Iraqi commander of the crackdown said Tuesday. Lt. Gen. Abboud Gambar, addressing the nation on behalf of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, did not say when the borders would be closed. A government official said it was expected within two days.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told Iraqi state television that the security operation would begin in the next day or two. The U.S. military announced last week that the sweep was already in progress. But an al-Maliki aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, said the operation had not yet begun, as far as the Iraqi government was concerned.

The U.S. military said a soldier was killed Sunday in fighting in volatile Anbar province, west of Baghdad, raising to 42 the number of American deaths this month.

On Monday, Gen. Pace said he had no firm knowledge that the Iranian government had sanctioned the arming of the Iraqi insurgents.

"It is clear that Iranians are involved, and it's clear that materials from Iran are involved, but I would not say by what I know that the Iranian government clearly knows or is complicit," Pace told the Voice of America.

Iran denied it gave sophisticated weapons to militants to attack U.S. forces.

"Such accusations cannot be relied upon or be presented as evidence. The United States has a long history in fabricating evidence. Such charges are unacceptable," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini told reporters in Tehran.

The Joint Chiefs chairman is the senior military adviser to the president, but he commands no troops and is not in the chain of command that runs from the president to the secretary of defense to commanders in the field.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's Infamy Speech
December 8, 1941/September 12, 2001
The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.

Now you've rooted out Al-Sadr and he's off to Tehran - good job. Now he'll stay there for awhile, getting all the help he needs - only to return to Bagdad to cause death and destruction.

Bush has literally opened pandoras box. Can anyone imagine announcing publically your "crackdown" on Bagdad permitting all the bag guys to run off and wait till things quiet down. SMART MOVE KING GEORGE!

This "War" was declared by the "Iatollah Komeini" (sic) in 1980 when Ronald Regan helped them come to power in Iran, just years befor Regan helped the Taliban come to power in Afganistan. Of course these events were inevitable given the fact that Sunni and Western cultures have done little to slow the evolution of the 'Sheite Gihad' (sic) The attacks have been spreading around the globe for years. Places like Africa and Indonesia are common targets. (That's why were forming an African Command in our Military) This conflict is different. It is about establishing a worldwide Theocracy. One that teaches all non-belivers must be killed. They are Zealots and cannot be reasoned with. It is written in the stars that this war will last for almost 400 years. How bad it gets will be determined by how long it takes Western civilization to realize that the fight will have to be ALL OUT. Not like IRAQ, Korea, or Vietnam. It will eventually become a true world war. How bad this world war becomes will be directly related to how long it takes us to
realize the stakes and use overwhelming force.
Soon our enemy may have weapons equal to our own.
Remember how fast Germany rose from the ashes of WW1. It was fast, less than 20 years. Will Rome again burn while Nero fiddles?

I wonder if Muqtada Al Sadr got the same "special" CIA transport out of Iraq as the Bin Laden family did immediately after 9/11/01?

And the biggest question I have...

... Do these people get bonus miles from our government?

Hamiltongrad-
If there are any "Hamas sleeper cells" here, one can only hope that start with you, then proceed to Fox 'News' and then off to the war propaganda Zionist headquarters of PNAC/AEI/AIPAC who are the architects of the Iraq failure.
p.s. Perhaps you have not read of the rapes/murder atrocites perpetrated by US soldiers in Iraq. Your "Muslim" Utah shooting analogy dosen't come close in comparison to the dead women and children of Fallujah.

Saddam's two sons have been killed in a direct gunbattle with the marines. He himself got caught while hiding in a remote area from his birthplace. This family was not the holiest but they fought their way into resistance.
