| WTF? |

| From Memri: IN A SURPRISING STATEMENT, IRAQI SHI’A LEADER MUQTADA AL-SADR SAID THAT SADDAM AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE THE REAL ENEMIES OF IRAQ, NOT THE AMERICANS. HE SAID THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE GUESTS AND THAT AMERICANS ARE A PEACE-LOVING PEOPLE. (AL-ZAMAN, IRAQ, 11/2/03) Think someone had a little heart-to-heart with Muqqy? |

| #9 that came from Little Green Footballs which has had a delightful obsession with the miscellaneous articles on Arafish's desk (from news photos). The gist is he has all these documents/dreaded red binder on his desk - but WTF does he do??? |

| #8 Gasse Katze, was that the reference that rantburgers were making when they talked about Arafat referring to the red notebook? That jokealways sailed right over my head - as do many others. |

| #7 You're right, SH. In Maos Little Red book: "Talk, talk. Fight, fight." |

| #6 As long as he's not talking peace while sending the snipers out the back door. That's been done before. |

| #5 That heart-to-heart probably came from the mature Shia leaders. They realize we're their best hope for achieving political power in Iraq and don't want him to blow it. |

| #3 From what I can tell there is only one Shia Iraqi leader who is against the US involvement in Iraq. Some bloke in the Baghdad area. Is this him? |

| #2 This will do nothing about the insurgents. They ain’t exactly the religious type. Plus it's the Sunni that are causing the trouble. |
