Default Iraqi Lawmaker to US: "Back off...or else"

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/...rss_topstories

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- An Iraqi lawmaker warned the U.S. military Sunday that if it doesn't immediately end its attacks on Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi Army, "all options are open to us."


And I wonder, what options might those be? Nothing makes my day more than comin downstairs to read about how the people we "liberated" are telling us how it's going to be.

Seems the lawmaker was not speaking about or to the US. From that linked story:

Earlier in the day, a lawmaker and member of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's political bloc issued an ultimatum demanding al-Maliki's government immediately end its attacks on Shiite militias or "all options are open to us."

What's the matter with you? Why ruin a good appeaser rant by dragging out the facts?

The original post claimed the quote that was given was directed at the US. It clearly was not. The US is mentioned in the article but the bulk of the threat is directed at the Iraqi government.

In fact, if you read the article and then what the original poster claims was said it is clear in fact that the poster doctored the article to make it read what he wanted.

The actual quote from the article reads:

Earlier in the day, a lawmaker and member of al-Sadr's political bloc issued an ultimatum demanding al-Maliki's government immediately end its attacks on Shiite militias, or "all options are open to us."

This is good news. Multiple forces are gaining up to end this islamomoron's influence and power. He sees the writing on the wall and is making some empty threats from the temporary safety of iran. His "army" of islamoretards are about to get wiped out regardless, and some fighting to make it happen is not something that can be avoided.

I did not "doctor" anything. The very first line of the article says that an Iraqi lawmaker warned the US that "all options are open".

The article has since been replaced, but the first line says it all and I'd appreciate if you don't tell people I am manipulating articles for a certain bias.
