You know, I have no IDEA who the hell that is...
He's some fat cleric in Iraq that gets press coverage eveytime he opens his falafel-stuffed mouth.
Id beat his bitch ass up any day of the week.
I had to Google him too. A waste of my time, once I recognized him. If he wants "the occupier" out so badly, have him put his money where his mouth is. Put money toward training security forces, and maybe even enlist- did I just go senile and say that?
A lot of people in Iraq think he is a leader. My opinion of that is sort of irrelevant. I think it would be wise for the powers that be to listen to him. I might add that the US and others negotiating with him helped quell "some" violence and make elections possible. (big emphasis on "some")
I think that your characterization of him is just about right. His daddy was supposedly a learned cleric, but he barely speaks the language. (not that I could tell). I like him though. He makes support of the war a whole lot easier. knowhattamean.
Almost a year and a half's worth of retrospection later, inter_regnum, events make your posturing in 2005 laughable. Perhaps the next time you're off on some unquestioning support of a Rightwing effort, you'll think back to this ballot and hesitate. We can hope.
