US urges Sadr to play 'positive' Iraq role
2007-05-25
The United States on Friday urged radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr to play "a useful and positive role" in Iraq after his dramatic return to frontline Iraqi politics.

"Now that he's back from four months in Iran, we hope he'll play a useful and positive role in the development of Iraq," said White House national security spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

Boy, that's telling him!!! Tater will be walking funny for a WEEK after that spanking!

Am I the only one who's concluded the Administration hasn't a clue about what makes the enemy tick? Pfeh...

#7  I suggest the role of "fertilizer".

Ummm ... despite all appearances, no. Although a poll of foggy bottom might indicate otherwise.

Kill the SOB, stop pussy-footing around.

Ding, ding, ding ... we have a winner! Sadr's continuing oxygen deprivation of other more deserving lifeforms like scorpions, lice and cockroaches remains a national disgrace.

#5  Another JohnD(r)oe from State/nsa. Hope springs eternal, while reality persistantly remains. Does Gordon think Sadr was in Iran for sensitivity training?

#3  Ha ha. We should urge him to donate to the Salvation Army and participate in Big Brothers too. Hell, let's ask him to care for the sick in Calcutta.

#2  "the antihero who died a surprise, painful, and futile death is a suitable role model. We hope you'll audition for it. We can airbrush the teefus thing"

#1  I can think of a few ways Tater can play a positive and useful role (doorstop for instance), but they all involve substantially reduced oxygen consumption on his part.
