This bit of news reaffirms my belief that the surge was the right move. (AP via Yahoo! News)Anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr fled Iraq for Iran ahead of a security crackdown in Baghdad and the arrival of 21,500 U.S. troops sent by President Bush to quell sectarian violence, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday.We'll see just how permenant a move this is... Mookie is a coward who sends other men to do his dirty work...killing innocents. Mookie is also a tool of the mad mullahs of Iran and an Islamofascist to the core of his very being.
Al-Sadr left his Baghdad stronghold some weeks ago, the official said, and is believed to be in Tehran, where he has family. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss U.S. monitoring activities, said fractures in al-Sadr's political and militia operations may be part of the reason for his departure. The move is not believed to be permanent, the official said.
And he has fled the central battlefield in the fight...
