No Wonder They Were Yelling "Muqtada"

It turns out that the cell phone video we all got to see of Saddam's hanging was definitely unofficial. Outsiders from Muqtada Al-Sadr's militia "infiltrated" into the proceedings and hung Saddam themselves. That fits perfectly with this fucked up misadventure we got ourselves into. Not only can our puppet the Iraqi government not govern anything outside of the Green Zone in Baghdad, but they can't even control it! The fact that outsiders could get to Saddam and hang him without our knowing any better just symbolizes the entire effort there.

Muqtada Al-Sadr runs a militia we call the Mahdi Army. Saddam executed his father who was the Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr. Muqtada lived in exile until we overthrew Saddam. He came home after that and has managed to be a major pain in our ass ever since. He and his militia fought us in Najaf and several other places. Now it turns out they executed Saddam righ under our noses. It just makes you wonder what other fuck ups have happened that they didn't tell us about.
