al-Sadr calls for attacks on U.S. troops
By SAAD ABDUL KADIR, Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD - The renegade cleric Muqtada al-Sadr urged Iraqi forces to stop cooperating with the United States and told his guerrilla fighters to concentrate their attacks on American troops rather than Iraqis, according to a statement issued Sunday.
The statement, stamped with al-Sadr's official seal, was distributed in the Shiite holy city of Najaf on Sunday — a day before a large demonstration there, called for by al-Sadr, to mark the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad.
"You, the Iraqi army and police forces, don't walk alongside the occupiers, because they are your archenemy," the statement said. Its authenticity could not be verified.
In the statement, al-Sadr — who commands an enormous following among Iraq's majority Shiites and has close allies in the Shiite-dominated government — also encouraged his followers to attack only American forces, not fellow Iraqis.
"God has ordered you to be patient in front of your enemy, and unify your efforts against them — not against the sons of Iraq," the statement said, in an apparent reference to clashes between al-Sadr's Mahdi Army fighters and Iraqi troops in Diwaniyah, south of Baghdad. "You have to protect and build Iraq."
The U.S. military on Sunday announced the deaths of four American soldiers, killed a day earlier in an explosion near their vehicle in Diyala province northeast of Baghdad. The province has seen a spike in attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces since the start of a plan two months ago to pacify the capital. Officials believe militants have streamed out of Baghdad to invigorate the insurgency in areas just outside the city.

Well that isnt the whole article, but the rest talks about other stuff not related to the main title. Just wonderful. So no more attacking Iraqi forces and now all will be focused on us! Well I guess that means there will be more targets to shoot at the next time I go out. I really wonder tho what they think. Do they really believe they stand a chance against us?!? Are they that brainwashed? Well I guess I will keep yall informed of any further details when I can.

Good luck my friend. I hope you get everyone of the Bastards. you guys are doing a difficult job in extreme situations. you have my respect.
"Do they really believe they stand a chance against us?!?"
Young punk! To young to remember "the best army in the world," that's right the U.S. military, getting their asses beat by a bunch of Vietnamese peasants.
The U.S. military was broken in Vietnam. The nonesense of Rumsfeld, and the rest about a light technical assault was in essence an admission of that, i.e., fear of putting significant forces on the ground as an institutional memory of getting your asses whipped in Nam.
Now they are grinding you up and you are too blind to see. Yet, everybody here in the states sees.
Well its obvious he has no clue whats really happening here. From boots on the ground, I can tell you they have died in significant numbers everytime they have attacked us.
