’I’m ready to die’ - Moqtada Sadr
2004-04-14
Iraqi Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr has denounced the actions of the coalition forces in Iraq and expressed his willingness to die for his beliefs in an interview in the Iraqi city of Najaf with Lebanese Hezbollah TV al-Manar.
Please be patient, we have dispatched squadrons of US Marines to ably assist with your readiness in any way possible.

#12   The last picture of him showed him surrounded by a moving shield of white turbans three rows thick.
So we get a bonus. All your turbans are belong to our JDAMS.

I wonder how many secondaries we'd get from some of the local mosques...

#11  Whether or not he's ready to die, it's obnious that Hellfire ( or perhaps a Helfire) is on his mind. The last picture of him showed him surrounded by a moving shield of white turbans three rows thick. A little thick for a Hellfire, but no problem for sniper with M107.

#8  I don't know about the killing him part. I think just a big pictorial of him on all fours, squealing like a piggy as a large circle of US Marines perform a bukakke bit would be a hoot.

#7  Yes Matt, he is. The article was a misquote. He actually said "I am ready to diet". The Marines, who are going to help him curb his appetite permanently, are apparently concerned that Sadr is eating too many carbs and not getting enough iron.

#6  Moqtada - Terrific! I think we're more than willing to accomodate you in that. C'mon out and we'll ventilate ya.

#5  Zenster: LOL

Sadr: We'll be glad to help you with that. There's a special spot in hell waiting just for you.

#4  OK, Tater, you're ready to die, but are you ready to skip a meal?

#3  Yup, Frank G.

All turban and no sheep.

#2  it's always the "I'm not afraid"'s that hide behind women and children, dress up in burqas, and do just about everything physically possible to avoid having the circumstance come true.
