Lil Kim should be careful when playing with bottle rockets. Someone might shoot one back at him.

” Coffee perking - “

I’m well into my third cuppa coffee (double-strength, as is my wont on early-early mornings) and I just now feel competent to get into the shower without drowning myself....

Kufa, Iraq - Sadr appears in public after long absence
Reuters (excerpt) ^ | May 25, 2007

Posted on 05/25/2007 4:05:57 AM CDT by HAL9000

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.

TOKYO (AP) Japan’s Kyodo News agency says North Korea fired short-range missiles toward Sea of Japan on Friday, citing Japanese and U.S. sources.

Heads up. The little dictator isn’t getting enough attention.

Here’s another one who was not getting enough attention.

Mookie’s Back in Town

Al Sadr makes first public appearance since October.

Firebrand anti-American, anti-Israeli cleric made his first public appearance in 7 months.
AFP reported:

Radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr appeared at Friday prayers at his local mosque in Kufa, central Iraq, to demand a US troop withdrawal five months after commanders claimed he had fled to Iran.

The young preacher, the leader of one of Iraq’s most powerful armed movements, arrived at the mosque surrounded by an entourage of Shiite clerics for weekly prayers for the first time since October last year.

“No, no to the unjust! No, no to America! No, no to colonialism! No, no to Israel! No, no to Satan,” he declared, as he began his address before hundreds of supporters, who showered him with handfuls of sweets.

“I want to renew our demand for the departure of the occupation,” he said.

US officials had said the firebrand cleric slipped out of Iraq in January ahead of a joint US-Iraqi security sweep that has since targeted his militia, the Mahdi Army, which is accused of taking part in sectarian attacks.
But, things may not be so rosy for Al-Sadr...
US officials reported that he had returned to Iraq after a four-month sojourn in Iran earlier this week.
Chron.com reported:

The prevailing view among U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence reports is that al-Sadr’s aim at a minimum is to raise his political profile in Iraq and possibly strengthen his position in anticipation of provincial elections next year.

There also have been reports that his militia has been splintering, and he may be trying to reinforce influence over his supporters.

“I’ve been uncomfortable (and more than ‘a tad bit’) with happenings everywhere for a long time, now...”

That was a cautious choice of words. I know you have and if I didn’t honestly feel overwhelmingly strong about my feelings, then I wouldn’t have made the post at all.
