US in stand-off with Iraqi cleric
The US-led coalition has intensified its pursuit of radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr who is holding out with his militia in the holy city of Najaf. Thousands of troops have sealed off the city and the US is handing out leaflets portraying Mr Sadr as a criminal. Aides to the cleric say he has dropped all his main demands and plans to turn his militia into a political movement. I think weâve already made plans to turn Sadrâs militia into cheap hamburger spiced with bone fragments. About the only thing Sadrâs going to drop is a load in his pants when heâs staring down the barrel of some Marineâs rifle. Posted by: Zenster 2004-04-14 |
