OK .. Here I stand with cyber egg on my face. It seems that Iraqi cleric Al-Sadr has decided to change his mind once again and die for his cause. He has been quoted as saying, ''Either martyrdom or victory." He is now prepared once more to give his all for his Jihad.
Don't get me wrong. If you want to die for something you believe in, by all means, die for it. This country (America) was built by men and women willing to give everything for the very idea of dying free. The War between the States (You remember it .. The one everyone thinks was about slavery) was fought on both sides by men and women willing to die for their cause. That is the American way.
You remember that kid in grade school ? He/She tormented you. They may have even threatened you. When you got close, they said, "I was just kidding." You back off and as you are walking away, they attack, verbally or otherwise, but it is still an attack.You wheel on yer heels and head back. "I was just kidding." It just gets old. Not to mention that fact that all the wheeling around is hard on the ankles. Make up yer mind. Are you going to die for your cause or not? Make up your mind before we make it up for you.
In Washington, the Bush administration said al-Sadr needed to match words with deeds. ''We have seen many, many times al-Sadr assume or say he is going to accept certain terms and then it turns out not to be the case,'' said National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. OK .. A public official that says he will do one thing to elicit a measured response and then when time comes to pony up, he reneges. Look over your shoulder, Condoleezza. This guy has a great future with the Bush Administration.
