| Muqtada Al-Sadr Comatose In Iranian Hospital |
| 2008-03-03 |
| Shi'ite cleric and leader Muqtada Al-Sadr was secretly transferred a few days ago from Iraq to Iran for hospitalization as he was comatose. It was reported that his illness resulted from food poisoning. Al-Sadr is being treated by Iranian specialists, as well as by Russian doctors brought in to help the Iranian medical staff treat him.

| #27 "impacted wisdom teeth can get infected and the infection can go up to the brain" That's only true for someone who has a brain, AP. Mookie doesn't qualify, alas. |

| #25 "The infection can go up to the brain and kill one". HMMMMMM, INTERESTING > DREAM > VOICE - "The infection will spread to his brain and kill him". We'll see iff the GUAM TAOTAMONAS were referring to SADR decades ago. |

| #24 My oral surgeon had a case of a patient dying from such an infection, and fast. That happened to me and I had no idea I had a dental problem. One morning I woke up with a knot on my jawline ... no tooth pain or anything. Turns out it was an abscess that had traveled along the nerve and had I not gone in, could have gone to the brain just as you said. And it WAS fast ... as in over night. The previous day I had no idea there was any problem at all, the next day I had this knot on my jaw and the dentist said that had I waited another 24 hours, I could have had a brain infection. Mookie's problem sounds like botulism, though. Probably real food poisoning. |

| #23 Actually, impacted wisdom teeth can get infected and the infection can go up to the brain and kill one. Tater does not look like an advocate of dental hygene, so who knows. My oral surgeon had a case of a patient dying from such an infection, and fast. |

| #19 Maybe we should all send him a "Get Worse" card. We could also send a "Thank You" card to the CIA, but they probably didn't do it and, if they did do it, they botched the job. My theory is that it's the Brits trying to show Putin that they can play hardball too. I'll bet Muqtada glows in the dark. |

| #18 Hope it hurt really bad before he went into that coma. If he is in fact in a coma, and not hiding under the bed, wetting his pants and sucking his thumb. |

| #16 "Mr. Muqutada how would you like your Camel Burger?" Arab Waitress in belly dancing outfit inquires. "Rare with goat cheese; and could you slice it for me. I have a tooth ache" says smiling Muqtada "serve him this" says Sunni Short Order cook Al Ronald 'ecoli' Mcdonald |

| #5 Huh? When did this happen? Oh, this is going to be most interesting. Who made the attempt? His own guys who are pissed off that they're not getting to kill Sunnis? The Russians seem to like poisoning these days. The Americans or Iranians have a motive? He was behaving and doing as the Americans required, so I can't see them doing this, and anyway the Americans would have done it with a Predator. |

| #4 I knew them teeth would get him. They're probably more toxic then the swampwater next to a Jersey chemical plant. |
