"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

The Way of the Gun

The radical cleric asshat, al Sadr, is willing to negotiate with the infidel Zionist crusader.

“Moqtada Sadr is ready to accept what the Marjaiya asks for, and to drop the conditions he had set for a mediation,” Mr Khazaali told a press conference in Najaf, where Mr Sadr is holed up with hundreds of his fighters.

Earlier, another of Mr Sadr’s representatives, Abdelkarim al-Anzi, told Reuters that the outlawed leader had made “positive proposals” to end the crisis.

The situation has seen 2,500 US troops mass on the edge of Najaf in apparent preparation for what the US president, George Bush, referred to as “decisive action”.

Mr Anzi said he could not disclose the details of Mr Sadr’s latest proposal, but added that the cleric “realises that an armed confrontation is not in anybody’s interest”.

Allow me to translate:  “That batshit crazy Texan isn’t afraid to order the Marines to level this town, and despite all my blustering I am nothing but a gutless coward who is afraid to die, so I will assume an air of diplomacy and act like I am negotiating.”

Oh yeah, force doesn’t solve anything, does it, liberals?
