NAJAF, Iraq – Anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who led several Shiite uprisings against American forces in Iraq before going into exile in neighboring Iran almost four years ago, returned to Iraq Wednesday.

Al-Sadr's return caps another dramatic rise to prominence for him and his followers after being routed by Iraqi and U.S. forces and appearing to fade from power just a few years ago.

I have a serious question regarding this individual. We have taken out numerous problematic, noxious (forgive the redundancy) imams. Why have we allowed this pos to continue maintaining 98.6 degrees? Anyone have an idea? sd

Right on. I started to worry about W when that filth was allowed to live. Iraqi freedom was purchased with American blood and to Mookie it only sees an opportunity to replace Saddam's tyranny with his own crock of shiite.

When he was cornered and wounded it was jorge bush that called his kill off not obamma. That being said he will be the head of iraq if they don’t kill the pos.
