#1 I bet Al-Sadr's actions have something to do with " Fedayeen " and " Impersonation ".

#3 More on Sadr from Riverbend. Still wondering which propaganda outlet she dropped out of after the war.

#5 Doh! Looks like Al Jizz is flapping in the breeze again...

This is what I've found:
"In Baghdad's Sadr City district, a stronghold for firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, about 6,000 Shiites chanted "No No USA, Yes Yes Muqtada" at Friday prayers.

Less than a kilometer (half mile) away, US tanks, armoured personnel carriers and dozens of soldiers blocked off streets leading to a building housing the Sadr City council. Thursday night's clash in Karbala appeared to reflect a determination by the US-led coalition to minimise any challenge to its authority from armed religious militants."

Blocking off some streets a click away is not the same as entering Sadr's "stronghold", Al Jizz. They're trying to make it sound like we're right outside his door. Uh, hun. Asshats.

Postpone the ululation for awhile, folks. He'll invite us in, no doubt, but it hasn't happened, yet.
