BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who wields growing political influence and whose militia has clashed with U.S. forces, described the United States, Israel and Britain as a "Triad of Evil" in a television interview Friday.

The anti-American al-Sadr also said last month's attack on a Shiite shrine in the central city of Samarra was carried out "in collusion with the occupiers and the Zionist entity of Israel," meaning the U.S. and Israel. snip

The Triad of Evil reference was an obvious play on the words President Bush used in his 2002 State of the Union address, when he labeled Iraq, Iran and North Korea the "axis of evil." snip

"The candidate for prime minister must demand the withdrawal of the occupiers, or put a timetable for their pullout. I don't support any person who does not say that," al-Sadr said. "What is important is that the occupiers leave because they are behind what is happening in Iraq."

1. And so it begins

There right in your face
The hardening of stand
The call for execution of hostages
And so begins the long road to eventual US withdrawal
The total lost of whatever US crediability left in the world.
This not Vietnam this much bigger much worst,
This also involve Islamic mindset
This hugh mega monster in nightmare make reality
Make true by a moron with dreams
Of the unattainable goal
But with HUGH HUGH short term profit
This Hell I burden children of future in US

2. Watch it with the overgeneralisations mate.

This is a hijacking of the Islamic ideal of Muslim Brotherhood by the worst fringe elements of the Muslim faith.

Just as it is some of the worst elements of the Christian faith which have conspired to create the conditions which have allowed the above to happen.

3. So rape the country

Which part of INVASION of a country you did not get.
Dont hide behind all this religious bullshit or even attempt to give reason to people struggle for freedom.
Bottomline US is an occupiers and will be seen as such for as long as they there
Matter of how long the pain one can tolerate.
The Iraqies has no choice no where to go no where to run.
The US oh well they leave when it becomes too painful.
Which part of loser cause you did not get.

Paint it anyway you want
Live your world as you like
But do not even consider that war are fought for good cause
Do not expect the General to say
Soldiers they all saint on the otherside but we still need to kill them
Of course all your enemies are devils

And so it goes on and on
Overgeneralisation haha rofl
Look at what your media say.

7. Muqtada al-Sadr's men killed Casey Sheehan, and now ...

and now he's part of the government Bush et al. have put together to run Iraq.

Anyone out there in memory land remember when we were gonna GET that evil bad man who killed the senior Shiite holy man the US had brought in to run Iraq right after the invasion? Oh yeah, Sadr was gonna GET IT!!

Then, suddenly, a deal got cut, Sadr was too strong, and the US forgot about the man who killed Casey Sheehan, who butchered another cleric, and who now leads the opposition among Shia to the US.

8. MSNBC just referred to al-Sadr as the voice of reason in Iraq
