Tater promises to be good if Maliki doesn't sign agreement - Trust me, really
2008-07-31

BAGHDAD - Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on Wednesday offered full support for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government if it refuses to sign an agreement President Bush has sought to allow semi-permanent stationing of U.S. troops in Iraq. Sadr warned at the same time that he would oppose any agreement between Iraq and the United States. If the Iraqi government signs the agreement it's: "Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you..."

Sadr's followers have abandoned active resistance in recent months, as Maliki's government has asserted its authority in military offensives around the country. Sadr's statement, posted Wednesday on his Web site, said that elements of his insurgency had erred in targeting fellow Iraqis and called for a centralized resistance directed only against U.S. occupiers.
