Some wacky stuff is going on in Najaf though, and this whole 'pork' thing sounds like face saving to me.

First off, Ali Sistani (the moderate shiite cleric that holds a whole bunch of sway with the general population of iraq and who could trigger a massive and countrywide revolt overnight if so motivated) told the yanks to back off with the 'dead or alive' talk about al-Sadr and find a peaceful solution, or he'd start beating the war drums.

al-Sadr, who's also a cleric and gives sermons regularly decides NOT to do so on friday, which is really unusual for someone who's moral authority stems from being a 'pious individual', especially unusual considering there's supposed to be a cease-fire now in place.

Then, after going to Najaf to try to quell some of the violence there saturday, all 100 Iraqi police book it as fast as they came.

Now here's the wacky bit... The NYT has an article about a bunch of flyers that were printed up talking about how the iraqi police "tried to arrest al-Sadr, but because he and his followers resisted it drove the iraqi police to defend themselves."

I guess whoever printed up the flyers didn't get the memo that al-Sadr was still alive, and those cops bailed. Seems to me that the pork thing was just an excuse to get out of being the fall guys for a poorly arranged execution-by-proxy. Sadr probably got wind of it somehow and that's why he didn't show up on friday, and why the 'cease fire' has fallen through... the exploding cigar, it seems, has once again failed to get to castro.

The question is: was this just another example of bungling by the US who has, once again, failed to keep their puppets in line? Or was this a scheme cooked up by sistani to either a) eliminate al-Sadr, a fiery radical with a growing support base among the more militant shiites, or b) marginalize the US even more by tooling 'em into doing his dirty work and then looking like idiots when they ultimately fail?

Or is it really all just about the 'other white meat'? ;)

Have to agree with you on that. A Comedy of errors and bungling

People need to stop saying it's GI's "fucking up". This is Rumsfeld and the neo cons policy. We turned a blind eye when they were doing it to Al Queda fighters in Gitmo, but when they bring those interrogators to Iraq to torture prisoners who are 90% innocent, it croses the line.

Rich · 06-01-2004, 03:23 AM

I mean funny how they've known about 91 REPORTED cases of abuse over the past year and a half, but waited until the press published pictures to mention it.

It was not the press that announced it. It was the Military that announced it during their daily briefing back in January. Pay attention Richy boy...buy a fucking clue.

You're such an obvious old looser, you'd believe the earth was flat if Rumsfeld told you about it. The Pentagon's "announcement" was one tiny sentence about "alleged prisoner abuse" in a daily briefing no one reads... that's not "announcing it". I read the thing.

Believe your own eyes, not what these assclowns tell you. They've been proven liars on an almost daily basis and yet some fools continue to nod their heads. Get ready theking, it's almost time for the 2 minute hate.
