Media Bullshit
I'm sick and tired of hearing about the Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani. I'm tired of hearing about the holy city of Najaf.
al-Sistani is about as "Grand" as a fucking Grandy's chicken hole. He is yet another bearded, hollow-eyed fanatic who happens to appear sane next to the freak Mookie Sadr.
Najaf ain't holy. It has a holy mosque, to be sure, but the city isn't holy. It has whores and pickpockets and thieves just like every other city in the world.
Someone (Jonah Goldberg?) made just this point: the media keep calling Najaf a "holy city" to create consternation in us because we are killing "insurgents" in a "holy city". There will be blowback! The Arab Street won't like this! The craven idiot Bush is slaughtering insurgents in a Holy City!
I say fuck Najaf, and Mookie Sadr. Let the Marines do their job, and send that preening peckerhead to hell.
Najaf is a hellhole. It's about as holy as Algiers, Louisiana. And now that al-Sistani is back in town I think we should acquaint the chap with our newfound use for depleted uranium.
