BASAR, Iraq, April 18 (Reuters) - Iraqi troops cordoned off the Basra office of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's followers on Friday and prevented them holding prayers in a move that seems sure to inflame tensions.The government and Sadr followers confirmed the operation, which comes nearly a month after Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki launched a crackdown on Sadr's Mehdi Army militia in Basra, sparking violent clashes across the south and in Baghdad.
"We have orders from the prime minister to take back all the governmental buildings that are occupied by parties and political movements in Basra within 48 hours," Interior Ministry spokesman Major-General Abdul-Karim Khalaf, told Reuters.

That occurred to me, of course in the Bizarro World of Islamofascist terrorists, dying is a great career move if you buy into all that crap about virgins, eternal buffet tables, and Ron Popeil rotisseries at your beck and call as a ‘martyr’, and your less fortunate comrades still blowing up women and children while humping goats in the dead of night can keep you “alive” by editing and doctoring up all those video tapes you made, with the predictable exhortations to kill all the Zionists, Imperialists, the Great Satans and the Mediocre Satans (and probably the lackluster non-achieving Satans too), and viola! You’re like the Bee Gees, “Stayin’ Alive...Stayin’ Alive”.
If anything, Islam proves that Satan (the REAL one) has a truly profound sense of humor, and is laughing his ass off everytime one of his deluded stooges buys the farm, blows themselves up, and then realizes that ‘paradise’ is just a personalized spit slowly rotating downstairs at Lucifer’s 24/7 Pure Pork BBQ Pit.
Great analysis. Put down enough tape to keep you “alive” for years. Crazy world.
