Quote:

A powerful and radical Shiite cleric implored his followers Sunday to stop killing Iraqis and focus their violent efforts on ousting American forces from the war-torn nation.
Muqtada al-Sadr also called on Iraqi forces to join the insurgents in the battle against "the occupiers."

This is the guy who supports al-Maliki, the President ( I think that's his title, anyway-- he's supposed to be OUR head puppet there.) of Iraq.

There's one thing that reliably brings people together in the Middle East, and that's hatred of a common enemy. Goody for us.

Nah, I think we need to leave this up to Sigourney Weaver..."I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit...it's the only way to be sure."
