Mookie Declares A Ceasefire


Moqtada al-Sadr decided to order his Mahdi Army to `stand down' and declared a unilateral 6 month cease fire today in Iraq.

This follows two days on gunfights in Karbala between Mookie's gang and the other major Shiite militia, Ayatollah Sistani's Badr Force, who took some time off from targeting homosexuals, Sunnis and immodestly dressed females to engage in a turf war with the Mahdi Army.

Both militias are more or less controlled by Iran, and I would hazard a guess that the orders for the ceasefire originated there...no sense fighting among ourselves now, is there, muhajadeen?

Not only that, but it has the added bonus of quieting things down in south Iraq so that the Brits can make a quick job of scurrying off home from their beseiged redoubt near the airport in Basra come September and the militias can take over for their Iranian bosses.
