Hearing the Mahdi Bray


“Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki made his first official visit to Iran today and repotedly asked Iran to prevent al Qaeda from slipping across the border to carry out attacks. Iran’s president in turn promised to help Iraq ‘establish security’, whatever that meant.

[...]

“Of course, neither discussed the real problem in Iraq…the Shiite militias armed and backed by Iran like Moqatar al Sadr’s Mahdi Army and the Badr force. They didn’t talk about it for the very reason that these militias are the muscle behind the ruling Shiite parties…like Maliki’s Dawa party.

“Take a second to digest that…the armed forces used by the parties controlling the Iraqi government we are supporting and finacing are proxies of our enemy Iran!” – from Joshuapundit, thanks to Pastorius.


And my digitally manipulated (it’s all the rage nowadays) take on it, which came out of seeing the photo on Atlas Shrugs:

Picture: Nuri Al-Maliki holding hands with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Al-Maliki: "My brother and I decided to channel the spirit of the 12th Imam for guidance". Ahmadinejad: "I just couldn't wait to hear the Mahdi bray!".

(Note to those unfamiliar with the Crafty Apologists for Islamic Radicalism scene: the title and the picture feature a pun.)
