| 2020-01-04 |
| [IsraelTimes] Iraq’s militia leader turned populist politician Moqtada Sadr reactivates his Mahdi Army following a US strike that killed top Iranian and Iraqi commanders. Taking to Twitter, Sadr orders "fighters, particularly those from the Mahdi Army, to be ready" following the strike, reactivating the notoriously anti-American force nearly a decade after he dissolved it.

| #8 Perhaps several hellfires have already launched against him over the years. Perhaps they've all wilted in his presence...due to his halitosis problem. Now where's the Land Shark® with a friggin' laser on its head? |
