Sadr Fan of Democrats Cowardice

Leave Iraq, Sadr tells “Antichrist” Bush
BAGHDAD (Reuters)
The powerful Iraqi cleric and militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr called President George W. Bush the Antichrist on Saturday and urged him to heed calls by the opposition Democrats to withdraw from the chaos of Iraq.
In fresh violence on Saturday, 14 people were killed and 39 others were wounded in a suicide car bombing in the holy Shi’ite city of Kerbala south of Baghdad, a hospital said. A Reuters witness said he saw tens of casualties.
Sadr, whose ministers quit Shi’ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s government this month, renewed his demand for a U.S. pullout a day after Bush pledged to veto legislation that would require U.S. troops to begin leaving Iraq by October 1.
Calling Bush “the greatest evil,” Sadr said in a letter read out by a Sadrist MP in parliament that an eventual U.S. pullout would be a “victory for the Iraqi people.”

“Here are the Democrats demanding that you withdraw at least with a timetable and you are stubborn against them,” said Sadr, whose Mehdi Army militia fought two uprisings against U.S. forces in 2004.

“You are like the one-eyed Antichrist. You look with one eye and refuse to look with the other,” he told Bush.

Maliki, under pressure from his Washington supporters to pass key power-sharing agreements to reconcile Iraq’s warring communities, met a Democrat-led Congressional delegation in Baghdad on Saturday.

A statement from Maliki’s office quoted him as telling the delegation that his government is committed “to building its armed forces and taking over the security portfolio all over Iraq in the quickest time.”

Bush has refused to set any timetable for a withdrawal, calling it a “surrender date.” More than 3,300 U.S. troops have been killed in the increasingly unpopular war since the invasion in 2003.
Defying the veto threat, the Democratic-controlled Congress this week approved a $124 billion war spending measure that would require U.S. combat troops to leave by March 31, 2008.
They have promised to send the bill to the White House on Tuesday, the fourth anniversary of Bush declaring aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln: “Major combat operations in Iraq have ended” after Saddam Hussein was ousted in 2003. The aircraft carrier was decorated with a large “Mission Accomplished” banner.

Imagine TV and video ads and You Tube movements using conservative film and video buffs inundating and saturating the airwaves with: “”This is what the enemies of America are saying,” and, “this is what the Democrats are saying…………..is there any difference?”” type of stuff.
I would just love that to happen. heh heh
