Why the Sadr Split with Iran?

#5  (Sung to the tune of "Return to Sender")

We gave a traitor to the general
He put him in a sack
Bright and early next morning
He was branded on the back

We wrote upon him
Return to sender, address Tehran
HeÂ’s such a traitor, heÂ’s no imam
His teeth are crooked, his ass is fat
You say youÂ’re sorry but we just have to send him back

So we dropped him at the checkpoint
Threw him from a fast Humvee
Bright and early next morning
He waddled back for tea

We wrote upon him
Return to sender, address Tehran
HeÂ’s such a traitor, heÂ’s no imam

This time weÂ’re gonna take it to them
WeÂ’re gonna go and make a stand
And if he comes back the very next day
Then weÂ’ll bomb Iran, we wrote upon him

Return to sender, address Tehran
HeÂ’s such a traitor, heÂ’s no imam

#4  Sadr doesn't want to be a puppet, he wants to be a dictator. He has to break the connectino at some point and now, after they withdrew him and made him look like a coward, and now that htey are likely to push into conflict with America is as good a time as any to split.

Lay low, wait for the yanks to leave, and then he can work a better deal by appealing to the Shia population as a hero of the revoltion and non-Iranian puppet.

Will someone rid the world of this meddlesome priest?
