BAGHDAD - A top aide of radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr claimed on Saturday that several groups of Iraqi troops were surrendering their arms at the movement’s office in Baghdad’s Shite bastion of Sadr City.

Sheikh Salam al-Afraiji, head of the Sadr movement in eastern Baghdad, said “groups of Iraqi troops came to us to lay down their arms.”

“After the people heard the screaming of Marjya (religious schools) and Moqtada’s call for peace and calm, groups of armed forces started coming to our office in Sadr City to lay down their arms,” Afraiji told AFP.

“They said “we can’t fight our own people. When we first joined the army it was to defeat terrorism and not to point the guns against the chests of our people’. We told them we would not take your weapons. They should be with you,” Afraiji said.

the ones on supposedly our side so to say. This whole charade is falling apart at the seams it seems. Nothing that any of us couldn't have told the war criminals from the outset. methinks bushco will get their due before this is all said and done.
And when this all blows it will be a spectacle for the whole world to see.

"This is really messing up our republicon Nation Building. Why don't the Eye-rackis just Bend Over, worship us Invading Republicon Oil Crusaders, and swallow our propaganda like the freepers. Hmmmmmm? Guess I will need another long, long, long vacation at the Imperial Pig Farm Upon Crawford to, um, try and, um, comprehend."
