I understand perfectly who Sadr is, what he's been doing in Iraq, who's paying his bills and shipping him weapons, and what he wants.

And it's not because they are jealous of our McDonalds. May have something to do with kicking down their doors, bombing 'em, torturing 'em, killing 'em, looting their resources, that sort of thing.

Horseshit. None of this was happening on 9/11, a little problem of causality I find I have to point out quite a lot. As for "looting" resources, last I looked we were paying one hell of a lot of hard cash for them. Weren't you the one bitching about oil prices?
