Sadrists: The delegation is “too Iranian”

Now get this sur­prise, you prob­a­bly read the NYT report “Iraq Team to Dis­cuss Mili­tias With Iran”, which in real­ity they went to nego­ti­ate with Muq­tada al-Sadr, what hap­pened right now is that the Sadrists con­demned this del­e­ga­tion say­ing it is “too Iran­ian”, Sadrists spokesman al-Obeidi told al-Jevar that al-Amiri and al-Adeeb are agents of Iran, al-Adeeb holds an Iran­ian nationality.

He answered the U.S. accu­sa­tions of the Ira­ni­ans involve­ment in the fight in Sadr-City, say­ing Iran sell­ing arms which are avail­able every­where all the mili­tias Mahdi Army and al-Qaeda are buy­ing, he directly accused al-Hakim of invit­ing Iran to sit with the Amer­i­cans on the nego­ti­a­tion table, he also explained his yesterday’s critic to Iran say­ing although the Iran­ian fear the U.S. pres­ence in Iraq, they didn’t con­demn the secu­rity agree­ment between Iraq and the U.S.

The Sadrists also issued a state­ment answer­ing Maliki’s speech yes­ter­day, inter­est­ing to read how many mis­in­for­ma­tion Maliki said:

1– Maliki claimed that Sadr-City is not under block­ade and this is con­trary to the reality.

2– He claimed that there is enough fuel sup­ply in S-C while he gave his order to the army to stop the fuel supply.

3– Maliki gave a hint that he will decide when the Sadrists can return to the gov­ern­ment while we have a doc­u­ment request from him ask­ing us to return to the government.

4– The PM said that he heard the help calls from the Bas­rawis (as he claims), and that is why he started the mil­i­tary oper­a­tion in Basra, while in real­ity it was started by an orches­trated demon­stra­tions by the Supreme Coun­cil and Badr Bir­gades against the police chief in Basra.

5– He stressed that he don’t want to nego­ti­ate to solve the cur­rent cri­sis, while he keep send his rep­re­sen­ta­tives to negotiate.

6– The PM accused the Sadrists with Burn­ing bod­ies, while the real­ity is that the mili­tias who infil­trated the Iraqi army burned the Sadrists in Suk al-Sheiukh.

7– The PM claims that res­i­dents in Sadr-City told to “Kill us and kill the mili­tia” means that he gave him­self the autho­riza­tion to kill every­body in S-C.

8– The cur­rent Iraqi con­sti­tu­tion gives the immu­nity to the MP’s to give state­ments, and the PM can accuse them about their state­ments and he should apol­o­gize from them.

9– The PM called the [MP’s] demon­stra­tors in S-C to stand with the law, while the only thing they request is jus­tice, in two times they reg­is­tered a vio­la­tion of human rights by the occu­pa­tion forces.

10– The PM stated that the supreme-clerics sup­port his oper­a­tions in S-C, while the supreme-clerics crit­i­cized the gov­ern­ment and its acts of embargo cities and the killing of women and children.

Please, notice the last point because there is more to add on this, one Aya­tol­lah “al-Hassani”, crit­i­cized the mil­i­tary oper­a­tion in Sadr-City but he also issued a very harsh critic to the supreme-clerics also for their silence about what is going on in Sadr-City, which is some­thing unusual saying:

These crimes are hap­pen­ing in front of the whole world because of the humil­i­a­tion with­drawal of our guidance-council [Hawza], which is planned by the super pow­ers with the approval of the forth occu­pa­tion government.

Last thing is that Awan reported that the Iraqi army with the help of the Amer­i­can occu­pa­tion forces is ready for the final attack on the mili­tias in Sadr-City, the news­pa­per also added that 40,000 leaflet are already printed to dis­trib­ute them among the residents.
