Keep in mind he benefits the US
Here's the anti american cleric guy who's a supposed leader of a religious group. He makes statements at news conferences and has a lot of things to say about the bad US and such. What I just noticed is the fact that HE IS ALWAYS READING FROM A PIECE OF PAPER. Even the ignorant 10th grade level Bush, when talking to reporters and the like, doesn't read anything from a piece of paper telling people that the terrorists are the bad guys and they will be crushed and ousted (the exact flipside to what Al-Sadr says). To me it's kind of pointing out the fact that he has someone telling him what to say when he's denouncing the US and their murderous policies. With the deadline coming up (the one I predict will not truly happen) this Al-Sadr is a stroke of good luck for the Bush Admin. What better way to remain in total 100% control of Iraq all the while suckering in the US public at home (remember them? The ones thousands of miles away who rely on western news agencies for their narrow-worldview updates). There's something fishy with all of that, but especially because he's always reading and not speaking with any type of passion, which would be expected of someone who's mondo anti-american. What do you folks think about it? Did you notice that as being odd as well?
