FROM:  Moktada al-Sadr
RE:    Latest Scam
DATE:  09-Oct-2004

Here is info on the latest scam we'll be running on the
stupid Americans and their Iraqi puppets.

As you know, over the last few months we've built up a
pretty good supply of outdated, worn out and defective
heavy arms.

Originally, we had planned to use these for spare parts.
But an even better opportunity has presented itself.

In an effort to "reach out" to our hated enemies, I have
negotiated a deal whereby we'll give the enemy all our busted
up heavy arms.  They seem to think this will symbolize our
desire to live peacefully with them.

After we have done this and they are feeling smug we will
relaunch jihad with our remaining weapons.

DEATH TO THE INFIDELS!!

What? Again?

This is a great step forward. Disarming the Mahdi Army takes out a whole front in Iraq and leaves us only with the Sunni/Zarqawi terrorist network in Al-Anbar.

The "kill 'em all" crowd is going to complain about anything short of death for all these fighters.
But remember, a dozen US soldiers died in Sadr city in September. If the legitimate Iraqi Government is in full control, the militia is gone, and US soldiers are no longer getting killed ... there is one word for that ... VICTORY.

We are winning.
