A radical cleric who led militia into bloody battles with coalition forces in Iraq is on course to win the country's election.

Firebrand Iraqi Moqtada al-Sadr formed the Mahdi Army in 2003 which was responsible for bloodshed on the streets of Basra and the shooting down of coalition planes.

“Exactly what was gained by the Bush invasion of Iraq?”

We were told it was because it was “better to fight them over there rather than fight them over here”. Meanwhile, Presidente Jorge Arbusto was letting in record numbers of mohammedans over here, so we had to have the “Patriot Act” to spy on all U.S. citizens because we had to keep up with the terrorist planning of all the mohammedans over here.

Brilliant, huh?

That was all planned and implemented, it didn’t just happen on its own, the Bush family are all pure NWO anti-Christ evil,

If I recall correctly they also let al-sadr be the hangman for Saddam,

I hope this thread realizes Mook, the Iranian, has the intelligence of a five year old. He is functionally retarded, can barely read, often drools and wets himself. When not reading from a script he mumbles and rambles absurdities. If you had to have a ‘firebrand cleric’ agitate against you this is the one you’d want. He’s a tool of Iran and everyone in Iraq knows it. The majority of Iraq is Shia which is why the Shia coalition is the largest. There are a LOT of retards in Iraq. 1400 years of inbreeding will do that.

Yeah, Democracy!

Boy, am I glad President Bush decided to bring democracy to Iraq. And to think, I doubted it would work! Boy, is there egg on my face.

Let this be a lesson: never oppose wars, always follow authority and (most importantly) let others think for you!

“The Bush bunch is no better than Clintons or obama.”

They are empirically, objectively worse — just look at their murder count (4,000 US citizens and counting).

To be fair, if HRC had taken the reins she may have tried to top it, but as it stands she is a rank amateur.

My son was killed four days before the first election in 2005. I have one of the original ballots.
