Al Sadr throws in the towel

This clown changes his mind more often than John Kerry, so joy shouldn't necessarily be unrestrained over this. But if he keeps to this position, this could be the effective end of the war in Iraq- and of the Kerry candidacy.

Coupled with the expected Bush bounce from the Republican Convention in New York, the President's continuing uptrend in the polls in the last few weeks, and M. Kerry's continuing troubles over his Vietnam record, the dramatic improvement in the situation in Iraq which this news seems to suggest could very well be the beginning of the end for the cause of the Bush Haters.

I still think the end will come when the Bush-Kerry debates leave the Senator from France looking like a pompous, negative stiff, and President Bush like the personable, warm, likeable, and fundamentally trustworthy guy he is.
