BAGHDAD - The renegade cleric Muqtada al-Sadr urged the Iraqi army and police to stop cooperating with the United States and told his guerrilla fighters to concentrate on pushing American forces out of the country, according to a statement issued Sunday.

The statement, stamped with al-Sadr's official seal, was distributed in the Shiite holy city of Najaf on Sunday — a day before a large demonstration there, called for by al-Sadr, to mark the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad.

"You, the Iraqi army and police forces, don't walk alongside the occupiers, because they are your archenemy," the statement said. Its authenticity could not be verified.

In the statement, al-Sadr — who commands an enormous following among Iraq's majority Shiites and has close allies in the Shiite-dominated government — also encouraged his followers to attack only American forces, not fellow Iraqis.

i'd be curious to understand the dynamic between saying "fuck it" and vigorously going after the madhi army, what iran may do in response, and how the majority shi'a population would interpret... something... right.

in some ways it's a pipe dream for the US, because, it would seem, to at least make a more identifiable "enemy," something we've been unable to do so well, with the "insurgents" being, well, whomever...
 
On the surface, what could Iran do? It's not their state, it's not their people & it's not their concern. They are, you know, staying out of this.
 
are you kidding? iran turning down an opportunity to become more of a regional player?

what could they do? funnel $ and supplies?
