Well so much for the Sadar family dealing Muqtada al-Sadr privately as a family matter. Al-Sadr apparently is gaining confidence from rogue Iran that wishes to carve out a Middle Eastern hegemonic power base in the Middle East.
The Yahoo News source I just read implied al-Sadr is prepared to engage the U.S. military on a full scale basis in order to carve out his own Iraqi mini-state. Let’s see, what that State be called? Perhaps it would be called the Mahdi Republic or perhaps al-Sadr would just proclaim al-Sadr’s fiefdom a new part of the Shi’ite Islamofascist Republic of Iran.
Hello, its another play for oil power in the Middle East. It is somewhat like Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait to usurp oil for more money to rebuild Iraq after Iraq-Iran War ceased.
This could be another move on the chess board of war preparations between Iran and America: Patraeus was elevated to CentCom Commander so Iran elicits pressure from client terrorist al-Sadr.

Apparently there is not only an Anbar Awakening among Sunni Iraqis who cooperating with the US Military to route out foreign insurgents (such as al Qaeda Iraq – AQI) but Shi’ites are becoming fed up with the thuggery of the Mahdi Army.
Evidently Muqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army is not enforcing a rule of law among Shi’ites to make them feel safe. It is bad news for the Shi’ites but it is good news for the US Military. Why, you might ask? Because al-Sadr is tied to the psycho Ayatollahs of Iran and it is a good thing to drive a wedge between Twelver Shi’ites of Iran and Iraqi Shi’ites.
Anyway, go check it out at Small Wars Journal. It means we are winning in Iraq not losing as the Dems would have Americans believe.
Shi’ite Iran and Wahhabi Sunni Taliban have been fierce enemies in the past, so much so that Iran did not complain when America invaded Afghanistan to topple the Taliban regime and it Stateless ally al-Qaeda.
Apparently the deep hatred Sunni and Shi’ites have had for centuries has transformed by mutual hatred of the United States. There have been major indicators that Iran has been supplying weapons and supplies to the Taliban hiding in the Afghan mountains enabling them to be a continuous threat to the anti-Taliban government and American/coalition forces trying to secure Afghanistan.
So here is the picture: Iran says that Israel will soon be wiped off the map; Iran trains and supplies terrorists Hamas (Sunnis in the Gaza), Islamic Jihad (Shi’ites in Gaza) and Hezbollah (Shi’ites in Lebanon); Iran has made mutual defense pacts with Syria and Sudan; Iran has trained and anti-American militant Shi’ites in Iraq; Iran as stated above is aiding the Taliban AND I would say it is a pretty good guess that NOW Iran is aiding al-Qaeda in some form or fashion. This is a bleak picture for Middle Eastern peace particularly as it affects the National Interests of America and Israel.
I must note that these Sunni/Shi’ite alliances are tenable. There mutual hatred could blow up into a division followed by unification due to a perceived American threat. It is quite complicated on who are enemies and friends at any given moment. The only thing that seems to be linear is both Wahhabi and Shi’ite schools of thought desiring a return to medieval harsh Sharia Law, it is only the interpretation that separates the sects and an American ideology of democratic Liberty and an American military presence that unites them.
The Twelvers of Iran are pushing a military conflict consciousness by manipulating a soon expectation of the Shi’ite Mahdi. This is not like the return of Christ in which Christian Believers are taught the power of Heaven will transform the earth and defeat Satan. The Twelvers look for a human blood bath to entice the Mahdi’s return to use human Mohammedan to inflict a blood bath on unbelievers.
Richard Haass, the President of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), suggests a “New Middle East” is emerging that will continually exclude the influence of America. The new influences in the Middle East will increasingly be how the area will manage the natural conflict between Sunni and Shia Mohammedans. The only thing the Sunni and Shia seem to be in complete agreement is the hatred of Jewish Israel.
Haass surmises that Saudi Arabia and Egypt will go nuclear to counter a nuclear Iran. I found it interesting that Haass did not mention an already nuclear Pakistan. Pakistan for the most part is Sunni, however it Pakistan’s rogue scientists that initially introduced nuke secrets to Iran.
Haass believes that a continued U.S. military presence in the Middle East can only harm American National Interests because of the distrust of Sunni and Shia of America. On the other hand America has to consider its primary ally in the Middle East. That ally is not Saudi Arabia! America’s primary ally is Israel. The only successful Western style democracy in existence in the Middle East is Israel.
Haass agrees with the Iraq Study Group Report that America should engage Syria and Iran pertaining to stability in Iraq. I still see this using gasoline to put out a fire. Syria and Iran have militaristic aims that center on the destruction of Israel. Why in the world would America enlist the help of terrorist promoting rogue nations as Syria and Iran?
The only possible reason for doing so is to sell out Jewish Israel to gain economic favor from an oil rich Mohammedan Middle East. In a Western perspective, this is placing greed above our own cultural ethics. I find the thought of this as reprehensible. It is an anti-Semitic move that would emerge as a 21st century Holocaust of Jews. Nuclear armed Sunnis and Shi’ites that hate Israel will result in yet another attack on Israel. These attacks have occurred frequently since 1948 whenever Mohammedans had perceived a collective advantage to rid the Middle East of a non-Mohammedan Jewish/Zionist government.
The globe’s first actual nuclear could be between sliver small Israel and confidently nuclear armed Mohammedans. I assure you the entire world would participate for one reason alone: the black gold resource of oil.
I am afraid the only way to resolve the crisis of the Middle East is considered currently as politically incorrect. The West must resolve to utilize some old fashioned imperialistic tactics to protect National Interests and Western Cultural Interests. The West must collectively use extreme prejudice to end the leadership behind Islamofascist radical Mohammedanism.
A usually polarized West (well America anyway) have a common enemy, that enemy is radical Mohammedanism. Radical Mohammedanism greatest desire and end game is to supplant Western Culture with its belief in Civil Rights and Liberty with a Mohammedan culture of intolerant Sharia Law. An allied front in the West must wake-up to this radical agenda.
Incidentally a majority of Mosques have their financial support in nations in which radical Mohammedanism is preeminent. The Wahhabis and Muslim Brotherhood of the Sunnis have funneled money into both terrorist organizations and European/American Mosques. Thus the affects of radical Mohammedanism is not merely an action that occurs in a far away land, increasingly it is becoming a localized phenomena.
The hidden twelfth Imam is the Messianic Mahdi of Iranian Shi’ite Twelvers. Lately media has been allowing information for Iranian perusal that the Mahdi will return at the Spring Equinox to begin the battle to subjugate the enemies of Allah to Mohammedanism.
This sounds like a theological belief similar to oft wrong Christians that predict the return of Christ in recent years. They have been incorrect for the Word of God says that day will not be known by humanity until it happens.
The concern I have with Iran pushing the Spring Equinox date as a time the Mahdi will manifest in the world smacks of Iranian Ayatollahs and Ahmadinejad exploiting the timing by initiating some kind of global mischief using the Mahdi as justification. Personally I believe this is the reason for the existence of the Iranian nuclear enrichment program. That program will lead to WMD. The WMD will lead to the chaos that Twelvers believe will precede the emergence of the Hidden Imam, aka the Mahdi.
