#1 "The Americans are trying to pull the Sadr movement into war with the U.S.," one speaker in brown robes exhorted. "Do not fall for their tricks. Keep calm, keep cool."
Even if Bushitler's army beats you and drags you into the street and makes you eat dirt and puts sand in you eyes and mouth, you must remain cool, even if you shit your pants in fear, you must not fall for their tricks.
Allan's Snackbar !

#3 Pure opinion - that happens to fit the observable facts:

There's massive taqiya both from and about Tater. He's an integral part of the Shia-controlled Iraqi Govt. As an Iranian agent, he's successfully playing both sides as it suits him. Maliki's Shia block demonstrates they, too are Iranian agents by covering for him. Unless the Mad Mullahs are eliminated, Iraq, minus Kurdistan, is destined to be a Qom satellite.

If the MM's are taken out, then everything changes - for the better - all across the region. No other single action could generate more positive effect than simply decapitating the Iranian regime. From the removal of MM agent-provocateurs in Iraq to the implosion of Syria to the sudden poverty of Hezbollah to the probable breakup of Iran and the termination of the nuke game. What's not to like? Gonna hafta do it anyway...

Just my take.

#6 The spinning top spins faster and faster.

Sadr himself approved Sadr City raid: aide
NAJAF, Iraq (AFP) - Moqtada al-Sadr gave the go-ahead to a US-led raid on the bastion of his Mahdi Army militia in Baghdad and plans to purge his movement of violent elements, according to an aide to the radical cleric.

Sheikh Abdel Razzaq al-Naddawi, a senior assistant to the firebrand Shiite preacher, said Sadr had given the green light to last week's action by US and Iraqi forces after meeting Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

"It was meant to pinpoint the bad elements and hold them accountable before the law," Naddawi told AFP in the Shiite holy city of Najaf. "This movement does not protect those who abuse people and the innocent."

Naddawi said Sadr had set up a committee to purge the Mahdi Army of members suspected of involvement in violence against Iraqis.

"Those proved to have abused people shall be expelled from the Mahdi Army and shall be subject to legal measures," Naddawi said. A source in Sadr's movement said as many as 40 unit leaders could be disciplined.

#7 Heh, Glenmore... I just had a flashback to Linda Blair's head spinning around... spewing split-pea soup...

And this bit is fun:
"Sheikh Abdel Razzaq al-Naddawi, a senior assistant to the firebrand Shiite preacher, said Sadr had given the green light to last week's action by US and Iraqi forces after meeting Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki."

when one recalls Maliki's public tantrum that he had not been informed, yadda³.

So much taqiya, so much bullshit, Arabs make the DhimmiDonks look positively amateurish.

We should've told Sistani to go back to phreakin' Uranus and squashed this bug and his bugettes back in Najaf.

#11 Ha! A sinister attempt to dilute RD's glory! Lol.

I remember it as Allan's - and I've abused it several times myownself since it's appearance - but I'll defer to RD for clarification.

Ya gotta admit, that was a stroke of pure genius on RD's part; I wasn't about to let that gem recede into the mists of time, I tell ya.

#19 Yes, yes, .com. You poor darling, everybody hates you so much that your name was continually taken in vain the whole time you were on vacation. Come sit down and have a cup of tea, and we'll all make much of you until you feel all loved and appreciated again. Although admittedly quite a few of your posts have been quite memorable, and not just the poetic ones.

/Are you starting to feel a little better yet? ;-)
