U.S. Commanders In Iraq: Fleeing Sadr Commanders Now Taking Orders From Iran




Whoa! Let's take a look at the first paragraph from this story here out of Kuna:



The US military in Iraq said on Saturday that "special commanders" from Sadr armed militia are fleeing Sadr city in eastern Baghdad and are now taking their orders and training from Iranian revolutionary guards.

And that news is followed by this:



The US military said in a statement that based on intelligence reports those commanders who used to be involve with the Mahdi army are on the run every time the US or Iraqi security forces arrest one of them.

These Sadr commanders from the old Mahdi Army in Sadr City have been beaten to a pulp and we have seen HUGE death tolls for them and their fighters and now of course, they are running for the hills but it appears they have switched allegiance - from al Sadr himself to the Iran Revolutionary Guards.

Here's my prediction: at some point in time here, U.S. forces are going to nab a couple of the highest ranking of these Sadr commanders and there is going to be an interrogation of them that will yield an amazing detail of just how Iran's Revolutionary Guards have implemented the training of Sadr forces as well as supplied them with weapons and also, I believe some direct involvement by Iranians in the leadership of fighting in Iraq. What will be different in this interrogation is that it will yield actual names of Iranians as well as locations of training facilities and supply routes.

And hopefully, all of this info will be added to the hopper of information that will be used to release the might of America on the mullahs of Iran.



Fleeing Sadr commanders taking orders from Iran -- US army

BAGHDAD, May 31 (KUNA) -- The US military in Iraq said on Saturday that "special commanders" from Sadr armed militia are fleeing Sadr city in eastern Baghdad and are now taking their orders and training from Iranian revolutionary guards.

The US military said in a statement that based on intelligence reports those commanders who used to be involve with the Mahdi army are on the run every time the US or Iraqi security forces arrest one of them.However such maneuver was not successful enough since the US army arrested one of the special commanders on Saturday in Al-Rasafah in Baghdad.

The US military said the arrested commander was involved in financing and kidnapping operations in Sadr city.The statement added intelligence reports also led to the suspect's house where he was discovered to be a prominent assistant to one of the main group commanders who were trained in Iran and lately fled Sadr city.Last April, the US forces conducted a wide military campaign against the militia in Sadr city which resulted in killing more than one thousand people and confiscation of weapon caches.(end) ahh.mb KUNA 311620 May 08NNNN
