NAJAF, Iraq (AFP) - Iraq (news - web sites)'s radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr tied his involvement in the country's January 30 general election to the departure of foreign forces, dominated by more than 130,000 Americans.
"I am asking our religious heads and our leaders to obtain from the occupier and his unjust agents the guarantee of an immediate departure of their troops after the elections, or of a timetable for departure," Sadr's office said in a statement published in the holy city of Najaf.
"Otherwise, our participation (in the elections) will be unlikely," the statement added Tuesday.

What would happen if this guy was still sucking air 6 months after some Dem administration said they were going to "kill or capture" him for murder in a country that our military was occupying? The Republicans would be going goddamn berserko right now! They would be on TV non-fucking stop declaring how weak the Democratic president was for not having this guy in jail by now or dead. The day after Sadr's words were printed in Yahoo talking about whether he was or wasn't going to part in the US sponsored elections they would begin impeachment hearings against any Dem president. Thats why the Republicans win elections you a-holes. Thats right. You guys ain't got a hair on your ass if you stay silent on this one. And you deserve to never win another election again. This is coming from a life long Democrat. You had better listen up.
