Following numerous bloody clashes with U.S. forces in which his militia reportedly suffered heavy casualties — including one in the Shiite city of Karbala during a major religious festival — al-Sadr last August suspended his militia's activities and called for a ceasefire.
And then after they have had time to recoup their losses:
BAGHDAD — Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr revealed Friday that he plans to create a powerful new fighting force to battle what he calls "the occupiers" in Iraq.
Al-Sadr's announcement came in the form of a statement read after Friday prayers in the holy Shiite city of Kufa. The statement called on his nearly 60,00-strong Mahdi Army militia to exercise restraint.
We're bloody fools for letting this go on. We should tell'em to shove their "truce" up their asses and just wipe them out.
