Did the Mahdi Army Capture U.S. Soldiers?

It may serve as grist for the neocon mill, churning its way toward an attack on Iran. According to the Roads to Iraq blog, citing Arabic sources, the “Mahdi Army managed to arrest 17 American soldiers” in Basra, where Shia fighters are going up against the Iraqi police — read, the U.S. installed Iraqi paramilitary forces. Alwasatonline (available only in Arabic) reports that Muqtada al-Sadr’s fighters seized “7 hammer (sic, probably Humvee) military vehicles” and refuse to negotiate release. As well, according to Alwasatonline’s reporter in Basra, Mahdi captured “250 Iraqi soldiers [who] gave themselves up.”
It would appear the Mahdi Army has reason to be sore at the United States. “At least four Shia fighters have been killed in a US air raid in the central Iraqi city of Hilla,” reports Aljazeera. “The raid on Wednesday is a continuation of US efforts to assist Iraqi forces in another day of clashes with fighters loyal to populist Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr.” It doesn’t help that the United States refers to Muqtada al-Sadr and the Mahdi as “special group criminals.”
Such language is necessary now that the long dreaded Shia uprising — at least engaged in by one large and sufficiently armed faction — is beginning to unfold.
As the fighting broke out, al-Sadr issued a statement calling for demonstrations across the country and threatened “civil disobedience” if attacks by US and Iraqi forces on members of his movement continued.
“We demand that religious and political leaders intervene to stop the attacks on poor people,” a statement read by Hazam al-Aaraji, an al-Sadr representative, said.
“We call on all Iraqis to launch protests across all the provinces. If the government does not respect these demands, the second step will be general civil disobedience in Baghdad and the Iraqi provinces.”
As to be expected, the neocons have moved a pawn into place. “Iran could do more to help end violence in Iraq, the US military said on Wednesday, calling on Tehran to use its influence to help end lawlessness in the southern city of Basra,” reports the AFP.
“There is no question that the government of Iran has significant influence in Basra, in the province and in southeastern Iraq in general,” said military spokesman Major General Kevin Bergner.
“We would love to see the government of Iran fulfill its commitments to help improve security and stability (in Basra) … and reduce the activities of those operating outside the law,” Bergner told a news conference in Baghdad.

In other words, the Shia of southern Iraq are little more than puppets for Iran and whatever happens in Basra and southern Iraq can be attributed to the Iranians. It’s more of the same neocon message that Iran, sorely in need of bombing, is meddling in the internal affairs of “liberated” Iraq, never mind the Shiites are so not onboard as to fight with government troops and attempt to get a deal on the oil all around them, oil greedily desired by mega-transnational corporations.
If the above story reported by Alwasatonline grows legs, expect the neocons to salivate over the possibility of yet another trumped up Gulf of Tonkin event, as the last one in the Strait of Hormuz failed so miserably.
It makes no sense for al-Sadr and the Mahdi to take U.S. prisoners, not unless they want the Pentagon to turn Basra into the next Fallujah. On the other hand, considering the long history of U.S. false flag operations (such as the above mentioned Gulf of Tonkin), it makes sense for U.S. operatives to capture soldiers and give the Pentagon reason to blame Iran.
If this story breaks out and is not another one of many rumors, it has serious and possibly cataclysmic potential.

How does “al-Sadr issued a statement calling for demonstrations across the country and threatened “civil disobedience” translate into the Mahdi Army is attacking US forces for Iran? Indeed all reports from Iraq are that Muqtada Al Sadr is appealing for calm and ONLY protests and civil disobedience and he has not called off the cease fire he put in place when the “surge” started. The US will rue the day when Al Sadr changes his mind and decides it is time to wipe out the occupiers.

I`m sure these Arabic sources are just as good as the rest of the site. Good reading lafff
March 27th, 2008 at 2:10 am
reponses 1 thru 4 are f---ing idiots!! I’m sure you all work for the government in some shape or form…..just f--- off! We know whats going on. f--- the NWO and the NAU assholes! I’m sick of reading comments with nothing to back your s--- up! Again f--- OFF!!
March 27th, 2008 at 3:02 am
I’m sure you work for the government. Open your eyes, people. My sources tell me even the President works for the government… probably I work for the government, too.
Nothing better than a healthy paranoia. Keeps you on the edge… mentally.
March 27th, 2008 at 3:43 am
Well, it seems that no one’s concerned about the 7 or so soldiers that are captured ?
March 27th, 2008 at 3:47 am
You mean there was conflict on the Iraq/Iran border? Wow…what’s this world coming to? I visit Infowars.com regularly but this story was a bit wimpy and the video really had little to do with the headline. I would much rather know what the Bilderberg group or the Rothchild family have up their sleeves next. We’re supposed to stay focused on what’s happening in that sandbox half a world away when our rights are being eroded right here in our own backyard. Screw the Arabs and the Israelis. I love OUR country and I’m concerned about OUR people.

Much worse than a few American soldiers being temporarily held are the numerous Germans being held for thought crimes in Germany. Many have questioned the “Holocaust” myth and have paid with prison time or huge fines. Check out the website I provided.

Nevermind the website…I see even Infowars censors the openminded from time to time.

#8’s my hero for the day.
The only reason any of us should care about what is going on in the Middle East is because our men and women are dying over there. So the solution is simple: just bring them home. From now on, let’s encourage every single person who thinks we need to still be there to go there and shoot civilians and let the good people in our army come home. I have Ph.D.’s at my school (Duquesne University) telling me how the surge is working and how we need to be there because “Every single one of them hates us and wants to kill us.” Right, so blowing up their children is going to make them stop hating us? What a load of bullcrap!
March 27th, 2008 at 5:38 am
Ph.D.’s saying crap like that. Damn!! So much for book smarts.
f---ing idiots!
March 27th, 2008 at 5:44 am
Well now that military intelligence has given the Mahdi army bribes in cash, returned weapons caches, and ceasefires for two years, they have rebuilt their militia to full capacity. They should of finished them off in Fallujah back in 05. If I was CENTCOM, Muqtada al Sadr’s head would be on a f---ing stick along with his contemporaries. The Pentagon admits there is billions in cash, and literally hundreds of thousands of assault weapons, sniper rifles and other small arms, missing without a trace. Would you stop fighting for a year if they give you hard cash, and a massive arsenal. Iraq is going back to the warlords and so is Afghanistan. The insurgency just got their nod from somebody, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all, if it came from somewhere within our own military intelligence. Iraq is shaping up to be just like Vietnam, and Iran is the next Cambodia. Here comes the killing fields, via Middle East. This has to be a specific recipe for maximum death and destruction. Good to be in the Military Industrial Complex though.

Reporting on this war sucks. No one gets a Pulitzer. Impossible to figure out what is going on. Hope the troops are OK.

McCain: Israel would suffer in Iraq pullout
JTC News
Published: 03/26/2008
A premature withdrawal from Iraq would endanger Israel, John McCain said.
“I believe a reckless and premature withdrawal would be a terrible defeat for our security interests and our values,” the Arizona senator and putative Republican presidential nominee said Wednesday in a major foreign policy speech.
March 27th, 2008 at 7:02 am
no one knows what is like here(iraq).I just want to come home!
March 27th, 2008 at 7:18 am
The Mahdi Army just blew up one of the largest oil export pipelines in Iraq. Here comes the f---ing marines and something tells me they’re going to mop these f---s up for good. The al Sadr militia is f---ed, and so is our oil prices for the next six months. We kill Muqtada al Sadr we lose Basra, Fallujah, and parts of Baghdad. So much for the surge. I’m sure the Citgo mercenaries have already started the slaughter that is about to go down.

The guy wearing a black ski mask pictured on page one of ”USA TODAY” this morning is NOT a ”Mahdi soldier taking cover”, he is an employee of Black Water, I know him personally, but will not reveal his identity because his employer would not hesitate to kill me. Just look at the size of him! Have you ever in your life seen a middle eastern man so muscular and heavily built?!! Notice the clothes and ski mask-they are obviously American. The U.S. Government and the controlled and corrupted American media is composed solely of pathological liars, bloodthirsty murderers, corrupt war profiteers, and career thieves. The entire so called ”global war on terror” is based on proven lies and propaganda. When will the brainwashed people of America awaken and stop believing all the government’s foolish nonsense and lies? 4,000 soldier’s lives have been needlessly sacrificed in the name of profit and global control of resources and there is still no end in sight! We MUST hold the responsible parties (”our” government and the entire globalist cabal) fully accountable RIGHT NOW! Get off your fat, lazy, pimpled butt and take action! YOU must act, don’t depend on others, it’s YOUR responsibilty…

TRUTH is a hate crime when those who HATE THE TRUTH make all the laws.

4000 soldiers. lol.. 3000 (9.11) was enough to shock the living f--- out of our country, because they died for osama bin laden, but more people than that died for the rich fatcats that either were responsible for the attacks or responsible for bin laden either way wake up stop dying for money

Israel attacked us on 9-11 so we would fight all over the Middle East on their behalf.
Dual citizen Israeli / Americans inside our Government are more loyal to Israel than to America.

Bin Laden had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 and anyone who believes he did is a brainwashed fool. He has been dead since 2002, yet still sends video threats from the afterlife through the amazing magic of the C.I.A. 9/11 has been proven to have been a carefully planned event carried out by elements within the U.S.Government. Only blind fools refuse to see that wtc 7 was a supremely obvious controlled demolition. The ”global war on terror” is based on 100% government fabricated disinfo and lies…

17 US soldiers hum… ? Well, if you are going to play the game, you had better expect to take a few licks.
The Americans f--- their POWs in the butt, I can’t help but wonder what the Arabs will do to the Americans.

tactics always vary; the telos does not. surely SD (state deprmnt) has an aim, a final sol’n. surely, we can’t expect that prez to know even . 1% of what SD knows; or, rather, what thousands upon thousands of the advisors/specialists know. thus, to the ruling class (ab. 10% of US pop) tactical losses or gains r not that important. to these specialist, who r, i educe, mere mouthpieces of the richest amers, iq invasion, whatever it cost, is a brilliant success. so what’s 4000 dead soldiers? what would would be even 50000 dead soldiers to people who. h. no offspring in iq or afgh? surely, by now we should know that the soldiers r mere cannon fodder; untermenschen who couldn’t make a good living in US’ meritocracy. cheney, might even assert that it’s their fault for dying because 80-90% of US pop demands excellence; and if u don’t h. it then join armed forces or die sm’how and end own misery. and that’s the way much of the world thinks and not just amers. thank u. it’s always beeen so. so, i’m not saying anything new.
March 27th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
They might be right. You guys remember 2 years ago where 6 to 7 troops where kidnapped by insurgents wearing Iraqi army clothes. The US said Iran was behind it because of the sophistication of the attack and the kidnapping. For some reason (I can guess) both sides are acting like 3 years ago and attacking each other (I don’t believe the Iraqi army is fighting that hard against the Mahdi army, since one they are shia and two majority of the shia in the army are sadr people or working for his organization.). And to look at the damage that is being done and lives taken in the green zone tells me that the insurgents (shia and sunni) have triangulated and worked out the ranges and targets for all of the buildings and facilities in the green zone. All it would take is somebody that works in the green zone going in and using a small gps unit to get a better idea where everything is.

Bin Laden was dying of kidney failure and needed dialisis weekly, he was given mardorship by the CIA “his financiers” in exchange for taking the blame ” even after he originally denied any involvement” and is still not on the FBI most wanted for the destruction of WTC “because he had nothing to do with it”. A Pearl Harbor like incident just like the Neo’s “New American Century” report required, in order to unleash an unprecidented attack on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, can you say “paitriot act”? George Bush stated to a group of politicians who were concerned about the legality of spying on Americans “quit throwing that Constitution up in my face, it’s just a G.D. piece of paper” this is well documented. Bush and Cheney are traitors to the United States. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are ALL that keep the military industrial machine from owning you-literally!!!! America is in GREAT danger folks from these socialists who will bring socialism to America wrapped in an American flag. China is their role model, and soon we may be no more free than communist China, but watch what you say, after all Clueless George is listening in on you and reading your mail, soon you may be renditioned and waterboarded for disagreeing with the Decider!

Ask every citizen of the USA one question :

If they are more loyal to Israel then tell them to get the h*ll out of our country because we dont want ISRAEL SLEEPER CELLS endangering our women and children.

Take a close look at our government and you will see dual Israeli American citizens are pulling all the strings. These dual nationals orchestrated 9/11 on us FROM THE INSIDE. We are canon fodder for their beloved motherland. Amazingly most people dont know that the Antichrist will be the Zionist leader of Israel….. the nation we have been DECEIVED into blindly supporting and dying for !

Have you noticed how many huge financial scandals and fraudulent schemes were done by Israeli citizens ??
Many ran to Israel and are free from any prosecution……….. that nation protects them like a den of thieves.
The big bankers are mostly Zionists who are financially raping us before they orchestrate our collapse.
