Where Is Muqtada Al-Sadr?

Military Spokesman In Iraq Says Radical Cleric Likely In Iran, His Associates Deny Departure

(CBS/AP)  The chief U.S. military spokesman in Iraq insisted Wednesday that Muqtada al-Sadr has left the country and is believed to be in Iran, despite denials from the radical Shiite cleric's supporters.

The statement by Maj. Gen. William Caldwell came after a U.S. official said al-Sadr left the country some weeks ago and is believed to be in Tehran, where he has family.

The official, who also spoke 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 is not believed to be permanent, the official said.

Lawmakers and officials linked to al-Sadr quickly denied that he had left the country, with one saying the cleric had met with government officials late Tuesday in the Shiite holy city of Najaf.

Caldwell declined to comment on the reasons al-Sadr had left the country or give more details.

"We will acknowledge that he is not in the country and all indications are in fact that he is in Iran," Caldwell told reporters in Baghdad.

The U.S. report on al-Sadr's departure coincided 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.

A close aide who meets regularly with him said al-Sadr was not in Tehran. The aide said the U.S. report probably stems from a campaign by al-Sadr's people to put out false information about his movements amid fears he will be detained by U.S.-led forces. The cleric also is sleeping in different places each night, the aide said.

An official in al-Sadr's main office in the Shiite holy city of Najaf said the cleric had decided not to appear publicly during the current month of Muharam, one of four holy months in the Islamic calendar.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the information.

In other developments:

Challenged on the accuracy of U.S. intelligence, President Bush said Wednesday there is no doubt the Iranian government is providing armor-piercing weapons to kill American soldiers in Iraq. But he backed away from claims the top echelon of Iran's government was responsible. Mr. Bush, at a news conference, also said he would fight any attempt by the Democratic-controlled Congress to cut off money for the war. "They need to fund our troops and the need to make sure we have the flexibility necessary to get the job done," he said. The House is expected to vote Friday on a nonbinding resolution opposing President Bush's decision to send 21,500 additional troops to Iraq.

A Shiite militant group has released a video of an Iraqi-American soldier who was kidnapped nearly four months ago while visiting his wife in downtown Baghdad, an American television network reported Wednesday. The U.S. government has offered a $50,000 reward leading to the recovery of Iraqi-born American Army translator Ahmed Qusai al-Taayie, a 41-year-old reserve soldier from Ann Arbor, Michigan, who was abducted by gunmen on Oct. 23.

A U.S. soldier died Wednesday after coming under small arms fire a day earlier from insurgents while on patrol north of Baghdad, the military said. Separately, another soldier died Tuesday in a non-combat-related incident that is under investigation, it said.

A Sea Knight helicopter that crashed last week northwest of Baghdad was shot down, the U.S. military said Wednesday, reversing earlier statements that it appeared to have been due to mechanical failure. The Marine CH-46 troop transport went down northwest of Baghdad on Feb. 7, killing all seven people on board, and an al Qaeda-linked Sunni group claimed responsibility and aired a video (click here to watch) showing a helicopter shot down, which military officials have called very convincing. "Initial evidence indicated that the CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter went down as a result of mechanical failure. After further investigation using all available means, the cause of the incident has been confirmed to be hostile fire," said Maj. Jeff Pool, a spokesman for the Multi National Force — West.

The Bush administration plans to allow about 7,000 Iraqi refugees to settle in the United States over the next year, a huge expansion of a program at a time when this country is facing international pressure to help some of the millions of refugees who have fled their battle-torn Mideast nation. The United States has allowed only 463 Iraq refugees into the country since the war began. A senior State Department official described the expanded program on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement later Wednesday.

A Marine has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and kidnapping in the slaying of an Iraqi man who was dragged from his home last April and shot, but he denied murdering the victim, a charge prosecutors will dismiss if he testifies for the government. Lance Cpl. Robert Pennington, 22, told a court-martial Tuesday that he knew the kidnapping was wrong, but he participated because he and his fellow Marines were tired of suspected insurgents escaping the justice system.

French counterterrorism police arrested nine suspects in a pre-dawn sweep on Wednesday aimed at breaking up an alleged al-Qaida-linked recruiting network to send radical Islamic fighters to Iraq, the Interior Ministry said. The nine were all from southwestern France. Two of the suspects were arrested at Orly airport in Paris after returning from abroad, the ministry said in a statement, without saying where they had come from or where the others had been taken into custody.

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.

Al-Sadr's in Iran picking up some more roadside bombs. DUH

Reply to this comment

He is anti-American, but he is an elected part of Iraq's government, Iraq's sovereign government. The ascension of people like him within Iraq's government was a predictable consequence of removing Saddam and the failure to provide for maintaining order. 41's administration wisely stopped the march to Baghdad, specifically to prevent the situation we see in Iraq, today.

The fact that a government is democratic is not a guarantee that it will be friendly to the US. When the majority in a country is anti-American and pro-Iranian, their democratically elected government will be the same way. The Shia majority has much more in common with the Iranian Shia than with their Sunni citizens and much less in common with America than the Sunnis. If the Incompetent-in-Chief was not able to foresee a pro-Iranian Shia government in Iraq, he is either willfully blind, crazy or stupid. Whichever it is he needs to be restrained.

Because of the never ending incompetence of the Bush/Cheney regime and their cabal of PNAC/AEI Zionists "advisors", Sadr is in Iran taking lessons/orders on how the Iranians will want him to govern Iraq.
Who and how can stop it from happening? The Saudis? The Isrealis?..hah, hah, hah :-)
The rapidly shrinking "Coalition of the 'Willing' has become practically non existent and is now "unwilling".
Anybody believe that the Russians and Chinese will allow the US to dominate Mid Esat oil reserves? The US can't even contain Iraq; not alone take on a very strong Iran. (Iran has had almost 30 years to rebuild/regroup with good stuff.) For the US to resist an Iraq/Iran Shiite Superstate is to also take on the Russians/Chinese and Bush is already responsible for the azz whipping we have taken.

As long as the Incompetent-in-Chief continues his Quick Draw McGraw foreign policies, we will never "Get 'em all over there, so they don't come here." His plan in Iraq has increased the numbers of anti-American terrorists 5 times. When you go to destroy the enemy and you kills thousands as well as large numbers of civilian collateral casualties, then 3 1/2 years later there are 5 times as many of the enemy as when you started, the acronym FUBAR comes to mind. No matter the term, his policies are an unequivocal failure.

Our military is unequalled. They've done everything that has been asked of them as well as possible, but no matter what they do, their weapons can't make a stupid policy, smart.

A Republican Member in the House today said, I'm paraphrasing. 'When you find yourself going the wrong way on a freeway, you don't just keep going, you get off at the next exit and go the other way.' Our policy is driving our military in the wrong direction, and in spite of the fact that our military is performing excellently, we're still going the wrong way. Unfortunately along this trip in the wrong direction, we've damaged some of the numerous parts that make the our military operate, over 3,125 have been damaged beyond repair, and others may not be able to return to service. We need to turn around.

Further, our clueless leader plans to have the VA charge these same heroes more for medical services. It's time to restrict his driver license.

"The Bush administration plans to allow about 7,000 Iraqi refugees to settle in the United States over the next year"

Just what we need, more uneducated immagrants walking around the coutry being supported by our tax dollars. What happend to the days of financially stable well educated immagrants settling here? I guess those people can't get a visa while Iraq's trash gets an all expenses paid trip to the US to start soaking up our tax dollars in medical, educational and welfare monies meant for tax paying citizens. Can we trade them for Bush at least. Then it might be a fair deal.

USA's PLEDGE 2 THE WORLD GIVEN BY JFK!!
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
--John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961 "

"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." --John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961 "

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Winston Churchill

Edmund Burke: All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

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.

Al-Sadr's in Iran picking up some more roadside bombs. DUH

[firststate]

He is anti-American, but he is an elected part of Iraq's government, Iraq's sovereign government. The ascension of people like him within Iraq's government was a predictable consequence of removing Saddam and the failure to provide for maintaining order. 41's administration wisely stopped the march to Baghdad, specifically to prevent the situation we see in Iraq, today.

The fact that a government is democratic is not a guarantee that it will be friendly to the US. When the majority in a country is anti-American and pro-Iranian, their democratically elected government will be the same way. The Shia majority has much more in common with the Iranian Shia than with their Sunni citizens and much less in common with America than the Sunnis. If the Incompetent-in-Chief was not able to foresee a pro-Iranian Shia government in Iraq, he is either willfully blind, crazy or stupid. Whichever it is he needs to be restrained.

[krotec54]

Al-Sadr day's are numbered. He is losing control of his army and they know they are losing control of the Iraqi government. What will they start next?

[johnshaft4]

Because of the never ending incompetence of the Bush/Cheney regime and their cabal of PNAC/AEI Zionists "advisors", Sadr is in Iran taking lessons/orders on how the Iranians will want him to govern Iraq.
Who and how can stop it from happening? The Saudis? The Isrealis?..hah, hah, hah :-)
The rapidly shrinking "Coalition of the 'Willing' has become practically non existent and is now "unwilling".
Anybody believe that the Russians and Chinese will allow the US to dominate Mid Esat oil reserves? The US can't even contain Iraq; not alone take on a very strong Iran. (Iran has had almost 30 years to rebuild/regroup with good stuff.) For the US to resist an Iraq/Iran Shiite Superstate is to also take on the Russians/Chinese and Bush is already responsible for the azz whipping we have taken.

[firststate]

As long as the Incompetent-in-Chief continues his Quick Draw McGraw foreign policies, we will never "Get 'em all over there, so they don't come here." His plan in Iraq has increased the numbers of anti-American terrorists 5 times. When you go to destroy the enemy and you kills thousands as well as large numbers of civilian collateral casualties, then 3 1/2 years later there are 5 times as many of the enemy as when you started, the acronym FUBAR comes to mind. No matter the term, his policies are an unequivocal failure.

Our military is unequalled. They've done everything that has been asked of them as well as possible, but no matter what they do, their weapons can't make a stupid policy, smart.

A Republican Member in the House today said, I'm paraphrasing. 'When you find yourself going the wrong way on a freeway, you don't just keep going, you get off at the next exit and go the other way.' Our policy is driving our military in the wrong direction, and in spite of the fact that our military is performing excellently, we're still going the wrong way. Unfortunately along this trip in the wrong direction, we've damaged some of the numerous parts that make the our military operate, over 3,125 have been damaged beyond repair, and others may not be able to return to service. We need to turn around.

Further, our clueless leader plans to have the VA charge these same heroes more for medical services. It's time to restrict his driver license.

"Where Is Muqtada Al-Sadr?"

In Tora Bora having tea with Bush-ally bin Ladin, discussing their mutual successes during the past four years.

[allgood34]

"The Bush administration plans to allow about 7,000 Iraqi refugees to settle in the United States over the next year"

Just what we need, more uneducated immagrants walking around the coutry being supported by our tax dollars. What happend to the days of financially stable well educated immagrants settling here? I guess those people can't get a visa while Iraq's trash gets an all expenses paid trip to the US to start soaking up our tax dollars in medical, educational and welfare monies meant for tax paying citizens. Can we trade them for Bush at least. Then it might be a fair deal.

[hillaryin08]

Where Is the Democrat ally Muqtada Al-Sadr?
