Tater demands date for US pullout
2005-02-05
Found some more cannon fodder for his army, has he?
Iraqi Shia leader Moqtada al-Sadr has called on his community's senior religious leaders to insist on a timeline for a US troop withdrawal. "This is a message from Sayid Muqtada. I call on all religious and political powers that pushed towards the elections and took part in them to issue an official statement calling for a timetable for the withdrawal of the occupation forces from Iraq," Sayid Hashim Abu Raghif told worshippers gathered for Friday prayers in the Shia city of Kufa.
"Helmut, speaking for Boskone! Out!"
Al-Sadr, who earlier belittled last week's vote, said he would no longer refrain from commenting on political developments in Iraq after keeping quiet for months, according to a statement Abu Raghif read from al-Sadr to thousands of worshippers.

#12  mojo: Sistani and his crew ain't pushovers, and may just decide to quiet him down permanently.

Actually, I think Sistani and his crew *are* pushovers, which is why they need Uncle Sam around to keep Sadr boxed in.

#11  I don't think he's smart enough to be scared. He should be, though. Sistani and his crew ain't pushovers, and may just decide to quiet him down permanently. High "crossfire" potential. Bad accident prone...

#10  STFU Tater, your a second string bush league day-shifter. You've got no stroke and don't call shit anymore. Go back to fondling goats and slappin' around your momma, that's about your speed, buffet jockey.

#9  Why is it that Tater sounds just like Kennedy, Polosi, and Reid? Maybe they are sending him talking (yipping) papers to work from.

#7  If I heard correctly, Tater's party drew well south of 1% of the vote in the election last week . . . making Tater the Pat Buchanan of Iraqi politics: "an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

#6  SG, I am not sure that Moockadoo demands a wench. He's got a tiny wiennie, so it's got to be something else. A date fruit perhaps?

Well, on the other hand, it may be somewhat related to libido... instead of a white raisin, a date is his fetish.

#5  Why is he demanding a date?

He's got plenty of time before we pull out of Iraq to find a date for the US Pullout (Party). Maybe he can call one of those Jordanian escort services?

I think its a ploy- he wants be seen as dateless, so he can ask Condi Rice out, rrrrwaarrrrhwrrrr!

#4  I recall Sistani jumped back on the Jet of Peace and humped it back from London just in time to demand a truce - just before Tater and his few remaining thugs were to be rooted out of the Ali Baba & 40 Thieves Shrine in Najaf by Iraqi troops backed by Jarines and the 1st Air Cav. As far as I can tell, that's the only reason, heh.
