Remember the days when every time you hear an Iraqi talk on TV you had to remember that they are talking with a Mukhabarat minder looking at them noting every word? We are back to that place.
You have to be careful about what you say about al-Sadir. Their hands reach every where and you don’t want to be on their **** list. Every body, even the GC is very careful how they formulate their sentences and how they describe Sadir’s Militias. They are thugs, thugs thugs. There you have it.
I was listening to a representative of al-sadir on TV saying that the officers at police stations come to offer their help and swear allegiance. Habibi, if they don’t they will get killed and their police station “liberated”. Have we forgotten the threat al-Sadir issued that Iraqi security forces should not attack their revolutionary brothers, or they will have to suffer the consequences.
Dear US administration,
Welcome to the next level. Please don’t act surprised and what sort of timing is that it: planning to go on a huge attack on the west of Iraq and provoking a group you know very well (I pray to god you knew) that they are trouble makers.

undeethedome, you do realise that within this context, your source cannot possibly be considered as balance.
Salam Pax, who's blog you quoted from is a homosexual and as such would be executed (quite rightly so!) if Sadr's ideas were ever the governing policy.
Therefore, one cannot possible expect him to take a fair, balanced position on the issue. He will be tooth and nail against sadr.
Please find a source from straight person that is happy about the suppression of the intifada :)
Speaking of straight Iraqi bloggers, here’s an entry from Riverbend’s blog today. She’s a 24-year old Iraqi woman.
The American and European news stations don’t show the dying Iraqis… they don’t show the women and children bandaged and bleeding- the mother looking for some sign of her son in the middle of a puddle of blood and dismembered arms and legs… they don’t show you the hospitals overflowing with the dead and dying because they don’t want to hurt American feelings… but people should see it. You should see the price of your war and occupation- it’s unfair that the Americans are fighting a war thousands of kilometers from home. They get their dead in neat, tidy caskets draped with a flag and we have to gather and scrape our dead off of the floors and hope the American shrapnel and bullets left enough to make a definite identification…

If we take that approach, what other groups would be excluded? Quite a few, I imagine. That doesn't leave too many people that can read, write or post on the internet. If Sadr's ideas include executing homosexuals, I hope more than ever he's squashed like the bug he is. If you agree with such heinous and debauched ideas as killing homosexuals, perhaps you and the others here cheering for him should go and live under such oppressive rule.
Yet, Americans are still showing restraint when faced with such disgusting thought in the arab world. Could you imagine if it were the chinese or the Russians..they would have laid the place flat by now.
Good one MS. Maybe we should dig out some homosexual blogster from America who has not so kind words about Bush and co?
