Al-Sadr’s sarcastic message

There are few inter­est­ing devel­op­ments in the Iraqi scene, not reported by the media:

- Some good news for Allawi’s Al-Iraqiya List, Inte­rior Min­is­ter Al-Bolani and “Unity of Iraq” Bloc will join Al-Iraqiya in the com­ing days, this is announced by Bolani’s ally and head of the “Awak­en­ing Coun­cils” Ahmed Abu Risha. Will change change the elec­tion results, It is more a sym­bolic gain.

- Al-Iraqiya rejected Ammar Al-Hakim’s round-table plan, Osama Al-Nujafi said:

The round-table is based on equi­table dis­tri­b­u­tion in the for­ma­tion of the gov­ern­ment, which will will abol­ish the right of Al-Iraqiya.

P.S.

More on this tomorrow.

I couldn’t find a hon­est trans­la­tion, report and expla­na­tion of Muq­tada Al-Sadr mes­sage (image above) after the last explo­sion wave in Iraq.

Many reports said that Al-Sadr offered to merge his Mehdi Army Mili­tia with Iraqi army to pro­tect mosques, which is true and he said that, but from the lan­guage he used, this offer was more sar­cas­tic meant to humil­i­ate the gov­ern­ment (Maliki). The exact phrase in the mes­sage is:

I am ready to offer hun­dreds of the believ­ers who are more loyal to Iraq than the cur­rent gov­ern­ment, to pro­tect their mosques, cities.… And save the government’s face, so the Gov. doesn’t need to ask the occu­pa­tion to do this task for it.…

- Inter­est­ing words from the Sadrists Hakim Al-Zamili, who told Al-Baghdadia that the explo­sion meant to start a new con­fronta­tion between the Sadrists and the secu­rity unites.

Who wants to start this con­fronta­tion? Is it some INA-INA fight? Cleric Jalal Al-Saghir web­site “Buratha News” pub­lished an arti­cle says that Sadrists leader Baha’a Al-Araji took a bribe and bought a $1.300.000 house in London.
