In a separate statement issued earlier Wednesday, al-Sadr also called on Iraq’s neighbor Kuwait to close U.S. military bases there so that the region is freed of “the great Satan.”

“I call on our brothers of the Kuwaiti people to put pressure on their government to expel these terrorists bases,” it said.
Somehow I doubt the Kuwaiti’s give a damn what some Iraqi nutcase says. They remember what the Iraqis did to them in 1991.
“I call upon the American people to stand beside their brethren, the Iraqi people, who are suffering an injustice by your rulers and the occupying army, to help them in the transfer of power to honest Iraqis,” al-Sadr said in a statement issued by his office in the southern city of Najaf.
This might get more responses, since there are many fools in the United States, many acting as spokesmen for Kerry’s campaign.
“Otherwise, Iraq will be another Vietnam for America and the occupiers,” the statement said.

He is dreaming. The Tet Syndrome is not likely to be set off by his trivial efforts. In Vietnam we were fighting a very well supplied army of over a million.
