Nobody on the planet believes that, although Sadr might irresponsibly say it.
Report: Iraq-Based Jihadists Seek to Expand War to North Africa
Do they blame the attacks in Algeria on the USA? 100,000 killed in the past few years.
All better now.
Kofi nipped it in the bud before the hard hitting armament was put to use.
Like pantie head dresses or American soldiers actually destroying mosques./s
An outside observer might see moslem attacking moslem with insane ferocity and wonder if these moslems hate Jews and Christians as much as they hate moslems.
al-Sadrs head should have been on a stick a long time ago.
It's time to bring our Soldiers home.
Let the barbarians have at it.
Although he is getting his due, perhaps Saddam had a firm understanding as to what was required to maintain the peace in such a pit of murderous minded Neanderthals.
Let the barbarians have at it.
Until they bring there barbarous ways here...?
Again?
He did. He wore a 45 on his hip from age 12 so he could go to school. He completed school and college and got his real education at the same time.
Did Kofi threaten them with food for Oil again?
Works for Kofi and his son, CHA-CHING CHA-CHING!
MUHARRAQ, Bahrain — About 1,500 people chanting for the prime minister's resignation marched through this capital city Friday, accusing the government of working to rig the weekend elections against Bahrain's Shiite majority.
A huge turnout is expected when polls open Saturday after a campaign that has been fierce and dirty, with rally tents vandalized, allegations of secret government funding for favored candidates and torrents of text messages flooding mobile phones. Anonymous messages warn Sunni Muslims to back pro-government candidates against the Shiite Muslim-led opposition or face Iraq-style chaos.
"Wake up Sunnis!" reads one broadly distributed message. "Don't be naive or your fate will be like the Iraqi Sunnis who lost their rights and their lives."
The landmark election in this U.S.-allied Gulf nation will be closely watched by neighboring Arab monarchies, concerned about rising Shiite influence. It is the first time since the constitution was restored in 2001 that the opposition is giving the pro-government candidates a run for their money. The main opposition party boycotted the 2002 elections.
Bahrain is the only Arab nation besides Iraq where Shiites hold a majority of the population, and the impoverished community here has long complained of being squeezed out of power.

Before - and After - Iraq
By Victor Davis Hanson
********************8AN EXCERPT ***************************
"Our own successful three-week war, but their failed three-year peace."
Such a self-serving disclaimer might best sum up the change of heart of several neoconservative former supporters of the Iraq war - at least according to interviews that appear in the current issues of Vanity Fair and the New Yorker magazines.
Some of these pundits and policy gurus now having second and third thoughts had called for the American ouster of Saddam Hussein as early as 1998. These days, apparently in hindsight, they question whether the present plagued occupation even justified the effective three-week war of 2003.
Americans themselves have made the same dramatic about-face. They once approved of the war by a 70 percent majority. Three years later, they think it was a mistake by almost the same wide margin. Like the pundits, the public follows the pulse of the battlefield - which now seems to be reported solely as a story of improvised explosive devices and sectarian suicide bombing.

Fascinating Analysis of Leftist Goals, August 13, 2006
Reviewer: N. Sincerity - See all my reviews
A former 1960s radical, Horowitz is well-acquainted with the Leftist mindset. In this book, he strives to explain the modern alliance between left wing progressivists and radical Islamofascists. He argues that this alliance is based on a common desire to destroy Western capitalism. Leftist sympathy with Islamofascist ideas makes no sense from an intellectual point of view, given that countries ruled by radical Islamists are among the most racist, sexist, theocratic states in the world today. However, Leftists have recognized that they can benefit politically from destructive terrorist attacks on the Western world. A West under attack can be made to turn on its leaders in fear and desperation (as they did in Spain after the Madrid train bombings). Only once people reject current government structures can the Left execute its anti-capitalist revolution and build a new reality that mirrors the Leftist view of utopia. The complete and utter idealogical hypocrisy of the Islamofascist-Leftist alliance is distressing, but as Horowitz reminds us, Leftists radicals truly believe the ends justify the means.
