unique war

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,310697,00.html

US and al sadyrs forces working togeather to fight irans insurgent groups. i remember about 2 years ago, the marines were going to squash al sadyrs men.

Those groups, Newsweek said, are allegedly funded through Iran, and Sadr has formed a new unit to go after the special groups — which are ignoring the ceasefire.

"We do applaud and welcome the efforts of Moqtada al Sadr in his previous announcement of a ceasefire and what he is doing to try to bring those elements under control. We believe that what has happened (with respect to decreases in violence) can be attributed in part to those efforts

Another of the many examples over the years of someone being a real SOB. But he's now OUR SOB, so we're ok with it. Remember Saddam was OUR SOB for a while. Can be a hazardous position....

sadr is just a shiny example of our hypocritical foreign policy.

ummm, sadr and his cronies are responsible for some of our troops deaths. he is not a friend, the iraqi government has been intervening to prevent US troops from engaging him directly.

he has blood of our troops on his hands and he should be punished for that.
