The Mahdi Militia: Quiet But Not Gone
The Mahdi Army and its leader, Moqtada al-Sadr, are OUR creations.
Moqtada al-Sadr was a 3rd-rate mullah until our Iraq envoy, Paul Bremer, shut down his newspaper... for publishing anti-coalition articles (so much for "freedom of the press"!).
At that point, he became empowered - by us. He was the face of anti-coalition sentiment. Emboldened by our stupidity, his Mahdi Army engaged the U.S. Army in Najaf... and fought it to a stand-still. This "victory" gave them street cred. They stood up to the mighty U.S. Army and walked away to fight another day!
When will this end?
Stop the madness!
