Mookie Gang on Holiday

The Mahdi gang announced that it hasn't been beaten up and defeated. Mookie's thugs insist they just took a break. They now claim their elite units will be back to attack U.S. trooops. That would sound like a good joke if it were not for the reports [Arabic] that Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah are in southern Iraq to train various Mahdi movements.

Indications that Hezbollah was playing a role in Iraq first surfaced last July when the U.S. military announced the arrest of Ali Musa Daqduq, a Lebanese-born Hezbollah operative allegedly training Iraqi Shiite militiamen.Though the AP says the Hezbollah thugs have fled to Iran, the Lebanese gang has not stopped meddling in Iraq.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani criticized Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah for his call for resistance in Iraq. “I hope the Lebanese try to solve their problems instead of giving advice to others,” Talabani said.

One of Mookie's gangsters said, “thousands” of men highly skilled in guerrilla warfare will be attacking U.S. troops soon. Oh yeah, they'll have no trouble convincing the Iraqi people that the new group will not target civilians. “We are still in the process of deciding the exact framework and the final decisions are up to Muqtada al Sadr,” he said. Mookie deciding? That is a good joke.
