Teheran lunatic the presence of Moqtada Sadr in Iran

TEHERAN - the spokesman of the Iranian ministry of the Foreign Affairs, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, contradicted the presence of the chief Iraqi radical Shiite Moqtada Sadr in Iran, reported Sunday the Isna agency.

“Moqtada Sadr is not in Iran”, declared Mr. Hosseini.

It is the first time that Iran lunatic officially the presence of Mr. Sadr on her ground.

“That belonged to propaganda and the psychological warfare carried out by the United States in Iraq to more make pressure on Iran and it is without base”, declared Mr. Hosseini.

Thursday, an adviser of Iraqi the Prime Minister, Nouri Al-Maliki, Sami Al-Askari had affirmed that Moqtada Sadr was in Iran for a short stay, contradicting that the leader of the powerful anti-American militia of the Army of Mahdi fled the tracking of the militia in Iraq.

“A my knowledge, it accomplishes a stay in Iran. It often went to Iran (...) for a short stay”, had declared Mr. Askari.

Tuesday, several American chains of television had given a report on the departure for Iran of the chief of the Army of Mahdi, powerful militia Shiite shown by the United States to be mainly responsible for denominational violences in Iraq.

These media bound this departure to the new plan of safety intended to pacify the Iraqi capital by subduing the militia and the insurrectionists who prevail there.

The following day, the spokesman of the American army in Baghdad, the general William Caldwell, had affirmed that Mr. Sadr “left Iraq and it seems that he is in Iran”.

The Army of Mahdi, which counts between 10.000 and 60.000 combatants according to estimates', was shown in December in a report/ratio of the Pentagon to be “the group which currently has the most negative impact on safety in Iraq”.

Since, increasing pressures were exerted on the militia, with in particular the arrest from approximately 600 of its members.

In January, the Sadr current, which counts 32 deputies out of 275, had announced blow on blow end the two months of boycott of the Parliament, its rehabilitation in the government and its support in the new plan of safety.

Why doesn't Moqtada Sadr speak for himself? He should come out of hiding.

"Visiting!"

The MSM makes it sound like he is on vacation.

HE RAN AWAY!

The little ninny was scared of US Troops. His lieutenants were recently captured, wounded, or sent to Hell.

Typical coward. He sent cannon fodder to die for "Jihad", and when it is his little pink body in danger, he runs to the hills.

HE RAN AWAY!

Brave Moqtada ran away! ("No!")
Bravely ran away, away! ("I didn't!")
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled! ("No!")
Yes, brave al Sadr turned about ("I didn't!")
And gallantly he chickened out! ("I never did!")
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat, ("All lies!")
Bravest of the brave, Moqtada! ("I never!")

Iraq has just reopened the borders with Iran and Syria, so Moqtada can return home now.

They should close them permanently. But then again, the most powerful nation on earth (the US) refuses to close its border with Mexico.
