#1 And he needs to be stopped NOW before he becomes the Khomeini of Iraq

#2 Sadr has two main problems...too young and not a well learned religious scholar. But he will accelarate his studies and become a fully fledged Ayatollah in less than five year and he will wear a fake white beard in the process. Then he will be a real menace. And there will not be America to stop him.If Saddam had not killed his dad we would be in a mess now in Iraq. Coz the old man had more following than all other Ayatollahs in Iraq. Plus he hated America.

Do you know the color of his turban? Black as
used by the descendents of Muhammad or white as
used by the other mullahs? For the Shia this
makes a lot of difference.


But I agree it would be nice if he had a work accident. Korans explode at times.

#5 Does Sadr really lie about his age? So he can be a Boy Wonder?

I tell you folks, this quality reporting is why I come to Rantburg! Can't get this stuff from CNN...

#6 He's wearing a black turban. Pure bullshit, in my opinion.

#7 Best solution would be for the Iraqi cops to handle the situation under the aegis of the interior ministry, while the U.S. piously announces that we're leaving it to them because they know more about it than we do — the while providing the target coordinates, of course.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a covert operation, like a Predator-fired Hellfire missile under cover of a pitch-black Iraqi night...

#8 How about somebody caves in his skull with a big friggin' rock on a pitch black Iraqi night. You could blame a jealous husband.
