KUFA, Iraq, May 25 (Reuters) - Anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who has not been seen since the start of a major U.S.-backed crackdown in Iraq in February, appeared at Friday prayers in the holy Shi'ite city of Kufa.The U.S. military has said he went into hiding in Iran in January to escape the crackdown, but aides to the young cleric, who led two uprisings against U.S. forces in 2004, say he never left Kufa. A Reuters witness saw him enter Kufa mosque, surrounded by bodyguards and close aides.

Radical cleric al-Sadr arrives at mosque
BAGHDAD - Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr appeared in public for the first time in months on Friday and delivered a fiery anti-American sermon in the holy Shiite city of Kufa.
"No, no for the devil. No, no for America. No, no for the occupation. No, no for Israel," he chanted at the start of his speech. The roughly 6,000 worshippers in the mosque repeated after him.
al=Sadt should be dead. Just one reason we are fighting a political war instead of a war to win.
If we can’t take this guy out, get ready for Iran to start parading their nukes.
But I never, ever in a million years expected man to get out of this jam, because the Bible is clear as crystal that only divine, supernatural power can stop Satan’s final attempt to destroy God’s creation.
I'll disagree. I believe we are fighting to win. I posted a report a few days ago that alleges we did try to take him out, but he got lucky and escaped.
kill him
What difference does it make where Al sadr was hiding. The Coward was hiding while his forces were fighting. Its always a bit hard to see why the idiots fight for these cowardly Mullah rats, but then when you think of it,none of them have the brains to tie their shoes.
It’s about time to take out the garbage, and anything else in a black turban....
From the looks of the guy in post 7, they don’t even have enough brains to put them on....
When you have gatherings of hundreds of known militants at funerals, or for years now Iran is arming and supporting insurgents along with Syria to kill our heros and they are
immune?
When you have large numbers of al-Sadrs followers in an area and no assault?
I just don’t agree.
If and when we try again, it will be in his home, after dark.
You got that right.
Sadr is lucky we are fighting this war instead of Israel. He and his body guards and aides would have been at the bottom of a bomb crater outside that mosque long ago if Israel were fighting this war. They really believe in blowing up their enemies instead of letting their soldiers be blown up.
And why does the MSM still refer to these hell holes as ‘holy cities’? There is not one holy city in any of these Muslim countries. They are cities held special by satanic killers. Why are they not called ‘damnation cities’?
I certainly hope you are right.
A 50 cal sniper rife round hitting him in front of 6,000 people would have a huge impact.
He will kill women and children thru Sept, for his buds in the US Congress who consider him a “winner”.
