#1 He forgot to mention the dreaded Zionists and maybe the Danes too. Gotta be sure that they all catch some of the blame. Wouldn't want to misidentify the perpetrators. Gotta remind people so they don't forget to condemn the infidels for every crime, atrocity and injustice.

#2 Did you ever stop to wonder how pathetic one had to be to be a "follower" of Moqtada al-Sadr? If this is whom you look up to, you're just wasting oxygen.

#3 Why-oh-why is this guy still breathing after all the deaths and destruction he has caused?

#4 He's still breathing because his execution would make his followers angry, and there are a lot of them (how many? my WAG is around 50,000), with guns and RPGs and such, and with lots of Iranian advisors and logistical support. Neither the US nor the Iraqi government wants to deal with the added chaos of all those followers on a near-random rampage in the streets. It may have to happen eventually, like lancing a boil, but so far they are hoping to co-opt him into the political process. (I wonder if he knows those crispy, greasy snacks clogging his arteries and bloating his waistline are pork rinds - shhh, it's a secret Mossad/CIA plot.)

#5 Why-oh-why is this guy still breathing after all the deaths and destruction he has caused?

Because he's a holy man in the religion of peace.

#6 He's the Al Sharpton of Islam, crossing the bridge between religion and organized crime.
Sadr's group has become an arm of the MM's lunatic political party. They use totalitarian control and death squads. What's not to like ?

#7 Fat and out of shape. Be a shame if he dropped dead of a heart attach, huh?

#8 Is he being treated for leprosy?

#9 He's the Al Sharpton of Islam, crossing the bridge between religion and organized crime.

Bingo. Perfect, wxjames. (Except that in Islam's case, it isn't a bridge but more like an eight lane freeway.)

Is he being treated for leprosy?

I wouldn't be surprised if he was. He's certainly headed for a face-off.

#10 This guys is completely f*cking nuts, and he needs to be dealt with. By dealth with... I mean shot in the head asap. His militia is solely responsible for a lot of these reprisals. He should be blaming al-zarqawi but he is too much of an idiot.
