#4 Apparently, Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr forgot it was thwo-thirds of the evil triad that permitted him to come out of the shadows so he could be the one who wields growing political influence...

How quickly they forget....

#6 USA allowed him to thrive. A butcher's bill will be paid for this egregious error.

#7 Triad, huh? Not Trident, like the cavity-fighting gum, which he's obviously never chewed ( or brushed, or seen a dentist)

#9 Thanks alot Frank! The imagery of tooth decay made my day. al-Sadr needs a root canal, a long, slow, root canal. How long are they going to put up with the Muckster? If he is taken out, his followers will run around like a loose baloon until they run out of air. Why are they putting up with this guy?

BTW, still stuck here. We have a blizzard going on. 200 yards vis, winds gusting to 43 kt, snow, blowing snow, 9F. It's a lovely day in the neighborhood. The weathermap isobar pressure contours look like a contour map of an open pit mine. We're doomed, doomed, I tell ya....

#11 AP keep hunkered down and stay warm, hopefully a warmer springtime is just around the corner.

"The cleric, speaking from the holy city of Najaf, said Saddam Hussein should not be tried but executed immediately. He criticized what he called American intervention in the trial and said it has taken so long."

Makes me wince to want to agree with this remark from Sadr.

no cookie for me, I always need to look stuff up. DMFD, liked the Star Wars reference though lol.

#12 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Anti-American "sophisticates" may sneer, but Axis of Evil was actually a neat turn of phrase. Sadr's Iranian masters seem to think so.

#13 Paul, it's 61 now northwest of Philadelphia.
Feels like 75. Got the windows open, and the heat off. Softball anyone ?

#15 That's the kind of temps that make walking by the ocean fun, Frank. At least, it did when we were in LA and in the SF Bay area ....

#19 I wonder if Sadr doesn't have some use to us. It is very convenient to have him and his followers chasing down the Sunnis sometimes.
Let's start a rumor that he is a zionist agent.

#20 IIRC, DD, the actual Triad of Evil was the three people of the Sacorrian Triad.

#21 Cloudy, threatening rain, moderate winds about 25 MPH and around 70 f, windows open, air off, and night just now falling, probably heavy rain tonight, in Mobile about 8 miles to the bay, and 20 or so north of the gulf coast.

#22 Tater needs to be eliminated before festivities in Iran commence.

#23 Please, someone refresh my memory...Why hasn't Tater had an unfortunate accident with an IED or 50 cal sniper rifle?

#24 Dunno. Maybe because he has a significant following and if he's offed, a replacement will arise. Ultimately Iraq has got to get past what he represents (including his blackshirts).

Or (and this isn't necessarily much different from the first explanation) because he is high profile and stupid, in a streetsmart sort of way, and therefore we can track what he's doing.

Just some (not very satisfactory) musings.
