Ok.....warning....one of Wolfie's VERY rare politicals...and I'm a bit concerned too.
Wollf-Line.....Baghdad:
"According to an order by Sayyid Muqtada, activities of the Mahdi Army will be suspended ... for another six month period," al-Sadr's aide Hazim al-Aaraji was quoted as saying.
He used the term "Sayyid", which is an "holy" title for al-Sadr during his sermon at a major mosque in Baghdad.
Al-Sadr's decision to stop senseless Murders, (Wollf's term....the MSM calls it a cease fire), for up to six months last August was widely credited with bringing the Iraqi death toll down more than 60 percent since it began.
The other piece of the puzzle is the surge of U.S. troops and use of Locals in the battle against Al Qaeda in Iraq........
Here's the deal with Al Sadr.....he's the little fat guy with the Black Turban, always shaking his fist at the evil Americans......
Remember the name of his "Mahdi Army"? Well, "Fat Dude in Bad Hat" is a Shi-ite.....yes, sounds amazingly like one of my curse words...for a reason. It is. And it's exactly what I think of these folks.
The Mahdi......that's Arabic for "divinely guided one"....is their version of Christianity's "Second Coming", or the Jewish Messiah who's supposed to straighten things out at the end of time.
Mahdi teams up with their prophet Isa, Islam's version of Jesus, and then brings about Heaven on Earth.
This all occurs kinda in the same time sequence as the "Revelation" stories.....Beast shows up as the Anti-Christ, gets a good G-d slapping, and we all move "joyously" on to the Final Judgement.
Muqtada al-Sadrin, in his role as "divine cleric", the "Shi-ite-head" followers believe him to be an infallible Imam, or "teacher", claims that the Madhi is back and that America knows it.
More interestingly, al-Sadr has repeatedly claimed that the real goal of the Iraq invasion was for U.S. Forces to capture and kill the Mahdi, and thus destroy Islam.
The Mahdi Army wants to fight. It is their belief that they "must", in order to hurry the appearance of Allah's kingdom on Earth.
Sound like an Indiana Jones sequel to you?
Another quickie lesson in Religion from Wollfie..... The two major Religio-Political factions in Iraq? Sunnis.....the "less evil" one, use the term Imam for just about anybody that leads a "sermon" in their mosque. Shi-ites believe that an Imam is that "infallible", "divine" fellow that I referred to above.
Hard time telling the two apart? Use Wollf's simple method of Enemy Identification...just like it sounds.....Sunni = "Sunny", as in maybe you'll live to see another sunrise. Shi-ite....heh, you get the drift on their disposition.
Bottom line to my unease today is that this little fat rat ba$tard weilds entirely too much power for the good of the World. His Mahdi thugs are murderers and worse yet, psychopatic murderers who believe it is their duty to bring about Armaggedon.
And the Main Stream Media is extolling this little pus-pocket, bad bearded, puke as the "Hero of the Day". He's asking his "army" not to kill anyone for another six months. Hoo friggin' Ray.
I am a hero too, I suppose. I've decided not to rob any convenience stores for a few months.
Eff him. He is a Bad Guy. Step on him like a Palmetto Bug before he becomes a friggin' Head of State and our Laws preclude his assasination.
Simply put.....They want us.....dead. Or converted. I know that in my case, that would mean dead. I'd write more, and become even more incensed.....but I keep getting e-mails that warm my feet.
Or is that Heart? Damm, I get so confused.
Thanks for listening....to Islamic End Times, the Condensed, Wollfie Version. Next week we'll try the Book of Ezekiel.......

I wonder if much of Sadr's army will just wander off over the next 6 months.
I'm kinda holding my breath on this one as well. For obvious reasons....
When you're living in the guy's back yard, you tend to pay VERY close attention to what he's doing.
I still think Sadyr is playing his own game but I'll withhold final judgement until I see what develops over the next few months.
It just may be he decided a cease-fire was better than getting his arse handed to him courtesy of the local populace who is getting VERY tired of paying the price for some fanatic's personal vendetta against anyone not of his little circle of friends.
I have been watching Al Sadr for many years, the man is a complex problem. There is a lot more working beneath the obvous, and yes, the islamic belief in the imam is critical when yoy consider Al Sadr. The Mahdi Army will not go away.
This is no cease fire, it is hudna, and an integral part of islamic war strategy.
Al Sadr will sit back, raise money, recruit, train his men and re-supply them with weapons as he monitors the political maneuvering here in the states.
They are hoping for a pull out, hoping that America will leave Iraq. Waiting for the results of our election is a good time for him to regroup, and that is just what he will do.
He is evil, but he is not stupid. He will wait to see what flavor we get, but he will not sit idle while he waits.
Either way, when he ends his hudna, we will have to deal with him on an entirely different level.
very austute observation. i agree, these guys ain't stupid, they're evil. just like their father satan.
they're patient, too. and we (obviously not "you" and "me") are going just where they want us to with Obama's "be nice and hope" philosophy. these animals don't go "nice". all they recognize is force, and we have superior force. we're just too "nice" to use it.
dang.
It is always a mistake to take anything those guys say at face value. It is indeed part of their strategy - just like the Iranian leader saying he will put down his nuclear ambitions - because they believe we are stupid enough to believe that if he says it it must be true - and the media is. And the left is. So the two bad guys snicker at us from behind their hands.
.... very insightful, scarily so....
Now that's a very impressive comment thread!
