He did this because he is in a weak position now. I'm hopeful that grand marjia council will take note of what he has done and punish him for the blood he has shed..he is a disgrace for all of us
I want a m16
Just casually firing RPGs
how many revolutions do they need
MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below..
They shoulda snuffed this guy in '06 before he could flee to Iran.
These are his people, and if any of you knew his history, you'd know he's talking out both sides of his mouth, as always.
This guy used to agree to cease fires (of his own militia) every week, and break them the next week.
While the Media was distracting us with al-Zarqawi and Al-Qaeda in Iraq to sell airtime, this was the guy behind 75% of the violence and murder
America F up, should have left Saddam in place. There was peace.
Bruh wearing green camo in an urban environment
Ha nice to see them shooting m-16s
Hmmm the cleric did the right thing. He is old enough to remember the mistake of other clerics in the area. Glad they listened. Maybe things will cool off, but it seems like it’s too late.
Does Jack Sparrow have an itch for something?
How Chump-Like Of Him
Or The Other Way Around
Thats what Lindsey wants in America 🤧
And Then Those who stand up for reason peace and true leadership are true to our God, one God One world, HojAla for those who fear not violence and heroes become those who not choose to follow it
Iran is a cancer in the middle East
The world would be so much safer and so much more technologically advanced without the influence of religion
I didn't know Iraq had thousands of republicans?
"WHAT ARE YOU AIMING AT?!!" -Tyler1
Still better than Hussein.
Human beings are the worst thing nature ever came up with, and religion is the worst thing human beings ever came up with.
Why were they shooting in the first place if their “leader” was going to condemn it? Iraq is still figuring out basic aspects of reason and rationality, I guess.
Only took him about a day to do that though… hmm…
I am not going to pretend I understand this dispute, but I applaud the cleric for his order against violence on his behalf.
How is this bad? I wish we had more people like him . A leader telling his violent supporters to stop and they listen . Trump can learn from him.
We wasted so much there… for this.
