Sadr demands US leave Iraq - million-man demonstration

Cid_Yama

Iraqi Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr called on Thursday for a million-strong demonstration against the American occupation. The demonstration would take place next Wednesday April 9, the fifth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, Reuters reported.

"The time has come to express your rejections and raise your voices loud against the unjust occupier and enemy of nations and humanity, and against the horrible massacres committed by the occupier against our honourable people," said a statement released by Sadr's office in the holy city of Najaf.

In a statement issued by Sadr office in the holy Shiite city of Najaf, Sadr called on Iraqi Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds to march to Najaf, some 160 km south of Baghdad, on April 9 marking the fifth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad.

He called on demonstrators to carry national flags to show their unity and demand the independence of their country, Sadr said.

Ooohh, better targets for the Sunnis!

Perhaps they should fly flags with circles enclosed in circles, I think they call that a target sign.

Mos was expressing an opinion. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I thank him for being concise. He can do all those things you mentioned, or he can give his opinion as he did. "Nobody ordered you to read his posts either." No one ordered Cid to put up his post either. I must assume you only want one viewpoint expressed here.

But according to some, Sadr himself is a U.S. tool, used to instigate internal strife and division in Iraq.

According to who? Everything I have read says Sadr is a patriotic.

I look for evidence on my assumption, your very post adds further evidence to my assumption. Cid provides his biased threads, thats certainly his choice. Why then in an open forum should mos not counter? Maybe he shouldn't care, but maybe he should care, and thus give his opinion, which clearly you don't like, which is your choice also. You seek to squelch his views. Prove otherwise.

I enjoy Cids posts, they're usually clearly biased, easy to counter with all the crap going on in the middle east outside Israel. He's a classic model for Twain's addage " better to have folks think you are a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt."

It is your own predjudices that has prevented you from seeing what the policies of the Bush Administration has wrought geopolitically and economically throughout the world for the last 8 years and keeps you in denial still.

I present the the truth of the matter.

Instead of providing rational counter explanations, you attack the messenger.

Using the tactics of a small mind is unbecoming to you mos. Fishman doesn't have a choice, but you do.

Cid is one of my favorite posters here...shortonoil...steamy, TB, Dantes, seahorse (I and II), AC, Golem, and armageddon...make the A-team for me.

Light on tin foil...heavy on fact.

Keep up the good work Cid...
