Americans – Sadrists reached a deal?

Rumors reported by two days ego by Elaphabout Allawi mediation between the Sadirsts and the Americans [according to Allwai, the Sadrists asked him].Iraqi writer Zaid al-Zubaidi says on al-Akhbar that to stop bombarding of Sadr-City by the American occupation forces, the Sadrists have to handover a list of persons who are cooperating with Iran, to extend Mahdi Army freeze for at least a year and to stop the attacks on the American forces in exchange for not to follow other Sadrists leaders, the writer linked “other leaders” with the re-activation of the arrest warrant issued for al-Sadr in 2004.

The writer also linked all the events above with the rumors of unrest among the Sadrists , questioning their leader’s credibility, comparing his deeds to his words of not negotiating with the occupation forces.

The writer refers to “alrafedain” post about the CIA managed to infiltrate the Mahdi Army, I am not sure if the report is true or not but the arrest of top MA leader today in Basra did not raised any protest by the Sadrists.

P.S.

Lebanese newspaper as-Safir published many reports on one topic “Muqtada al-Sadr“, few are very good read.

Well, ummm, I doubt it.
Name those cooperating with Iran?
Ummmm.
Hakim, Allawi. al Maliki, etc.
The ones cooperating with Iran are the pro-Iranian, former SCIRI leaders and others who achieved legitimacy in the last election.
The Sadrists are about the only Shia group opposed to greater Iranian influence over Iraq’s future.
The Sadrists are the most nationalistic of the Shia, and are on par with their Sunni counterparts , all of whom rose up against the Us’ illegal invasion.
I doubt that al Sadr is going to be willing to negotiate with the US over anything except withdrawal, ending the invasion/occupation of Iraq.

Interview with Al Qaeda No. 3
Rare interview released today by Pakistani Geo News with AL-Qaeda No. 3, the Egyptian Mustafa Abul Yazid and al-Zawahiri's prison-mate.

The two theories behind Hariri's visit to Baghdad
Two theories behind Hariri's visit to Baghdad:

1- The Americans sent him to mediate with Maliki, just like he played the same role a year ago with Musharraf of Pakistan.

2- To find more investment opportunities for his reconstruction company, just like he bought half of Amman - Jordan despite the Jordanian.

International justice became Israel and the west’s doormat
Many Arab newspapers angrily reacted to the International Criminal Court decision of arresting Sudan's president Omar al-Bashir.

Most frustrated reaction came from UAE Alkhaleej editorial "Where is the international justice":

International justice became a doormat used by the world power and their ally Israel as a heavy stick against the countries opposing the west policies.

Justice standards of our time are to be strong, beyond the law and international legitimacy and exercise the role of a pirate.

These charges confirm that real justice has become a thing of the past since U.S. dominated the international scene is dictating its decisions.

Prof. Dr. Abdul Wahab Al Missiri passed away today, his website with many of his works are still alive, his Arabic book "Jews, Judaism and Zionism Encyclopedia" also. expecting a very close end for Israel, perhaps in fifty years from now!

Last article on Aljazeera he expected "a very close end for Israel" denied to have a relationship with this expectation of pessimism or optimism, stressing that he read the data and facts in context and draw substantive what could be their consequences.

Al Meseiri described establishment of a Palestinian state as proposed by Israel and the Arab and foreign countries that is “useless” and he said “the alternative is to have a multi-religions and identities,” as happened in South Africa.

The unknown in Khaliq gathering
Interesting, Iraqi journalist recorded what he saw in the Iranian mujahedeen Khaliq gathering in Paris.

He said that he saw Iraqis in traditional Arab cloths participated in the gathering, sitting in front lines, treated like VIP’s, and greeted by Maryam Rajavi herself who described them as heroes in her speech.

The journalist asks: What changed? Is this the same organization few weeks ago, the west consider it as a terrorists organization?

He is right, Kaliq is Israel’s last hope to attack Iran.
