Al-Sadr makes appearances with the President of Iraq as early as October 2006 this exactly the same time that Iraq prime minister, Al-Maliki, makes anti-American remarks, challenging US handling of war, etc. Shouldn't Al-Maliki be challenging Al-Sadr and Mahdi army?
Al-Sadr and Mahdi army are cowards. In April 2004 Al-Sadr promises to disband, yet cowardly back-stabs his own country, Iraq, along with his Mahdi army. Wasn't there an arrest warrant for al-Sadr in April 2004 for homicide of American civilians? And wasn't there an agreement between al-Sadr and Iraqi government to not arrest him if he disbanded? Yet al-Sadr intentionally continues his riots and civil war on Iraqi people for wanting a democracy!. There is something wrong with this equation here. Is the prime minister of Iraq for Iraq or just for Al-Sadr and Mahdi terrorists?
And how about our missing ammunition? I'm sure that all of the ammunition can be found in Sadr City. (see information below as listed on CNN.com)
"The Pentagon cannot account for 14,030 weapons -- almost 4 percent of the semiautomatic pistols, assault rifles, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and other weapons it has been supplying to Iraq since the end of 2003.
The missing weapons will not be tracked easily: The Defense Department registered the serial numbers of only about 10,000 of the 370,251 weapons it provided -- less than 3 percent.
Missing from the Defense Department's inventory books were 13,180 semiautomatic pistols, 751 assault rifles and 99 machine guns." (source: http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/10/30/iraq.audits.ap/index.html)
