This is an example of how the Bad Guys use our Media to peddle false stories....turned this up from LWJ:

Sadr did not refer dissolving al-Mahdi army to top Shiite clerics

***********************

Reporting was done by Local Iraqi news,....Roggio found it but CNN did NOT!!!

Yeah I saw that one. CNN trying to pull a fast one right before General Petraeus testifies.

Well, My reply to this,when I hrad about it was:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Religious leaders tell al-Sadr to keep militia intact

Two points of interest to me:

1. When this first came up, Sadrs people said he would consult Sistani “and Top clerics in Qom” instead of saying Khamenei.

2. Now he says “top Iraqi clerics” instead of Sistani. when saying that disbanding was “denied”.

This smells like rotting fish.
