| Al-Sadr Backs Security Plan? |
Itsdb |
02/16/07 |
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani says radical Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is believed to have ordered senior officials of his Imam al-Mahdi Army militia to leave Iraq.
Talabani said he believes al-Sadr supports new security operations launched in Iraq this week, and told his officials to leave the country in order to facilitate the security plan.
The comments on February 15 came amid speculation that al-Sadr himself was in Iran.
Talabani said he had no information on al-Sadr's whereabouts.
Meanwhile, reports say the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq -- Abu Ayyub al-Masri -- was wounded in a clash north of Baghdad.
The AP news agency and Al-Arabiya Television quote the Iraqi Interior Ministry as saying an aide to al-Masri was killed in the clash near Balad, a major U.S. base about 80 kilometers north of Baghdad.

I don't believe for a minute Mookie supports the new plan. I think he's doing what all good Jihadists do when the tide turns against them, run and hide and then lie through their teeth. But hey, if the Mookie Militia wants to leave Iraq...you finish the sentence.
There is no confirmation yet as to the al-Masri report, but we can hope. Personally I think the surge is already showing signs of success, but you wouldn't know it by reading the news. Heck, they don't even diguise their analysis as news any more they just report it as fact. This morning's report:
BAGHDAD - U.S. and Iraqi forces pushed deeper into Sunni Muslim militant strongholds in the Iraqi capital Thursday-where cars rigged with explosives greeted their advance - while British-led teams in southern Iraq used shipping containers to block suspected weapon-smuggling routes from Iran...
The series of car bomb blasts, which killed at least seven civilians, touched all corners of Baghdad. But it did little to disrupt a security sweep seeking to weaken militia groups' ability to fight U.S.-allied forces - and each other - as Iraq slips further into factional bloodshed.
The attacks, however, pointed to the critical struggle to gain the upper hand on Baghdad's streets. The Pentagon hopes its current campaign of arrests and arms seizures will persuade average Iraqis militiamen are losing ground. Yet each explosion is another reminder of the militants' resources and resolve.
Is there something in the left's water that poisons their minds until they're incapable of acknowledging a good thing in Iraq, or God forbid, rooting for a success there? It's a good thing some facts just can't be overlooked even by the liberal media or Democrats in congress, such as, The number of Iraqi civilians killed in Baghdad's sectarian violence fell drastically overnight, an Iraqi military official said Friday, crediting the joint U.S.-Iraqi security operation that began in force just days ago.
Could things be turning around? If they do, will the media grit their teeth and report it? |
