As usual...the BUSH STRONG ARM techniques have FAILED and led the Iraq situation into this HORRIBLE MESS.....they could have negotiated with him LONG AGO when he was just running a newspaper, but once again the WARMONGERS WITH HUBRIS attacked him, shut him down, and forced him into a corner and THIS IS THE RESULT!

Sadr is a perfect example of a problem we created. He was an isolated, ill educated cleric, who had a newspaper with a circulation of a few hundred. We shut down his paper, harrassed him, and turned him into a leader of the Shia disaffected. If we kill him, we turn him into a martyr. He had no "Mahdi Army" until we created it for him.
