The message is not clear. Is he calling his followers to march to Najaf to defend it gainst the Americans or to help them 'liberate' it from Muqtada al-Sadr?
Has he just woken up and realised this as Iraq as whole has been burning since 1991.

But not really surprising. At least he has now shown the Iraqis his true colours, and they should act accordingly. Looks like some on this site were wiser than I, and correctly anticipated that he would fall in with the occupation. But still we should wait and see what happens when he gets to Najaf itself.

I doubt anyone will much trust him at this point. As a physician, I can say with certainty that it was not necessary for him to stay in London "recuperating" for 3 weeks. No, he was learning and rehearsing the plan developed by his British handlers.

maybe he will become a human shield for al Sadr.

sistani has been in the hip pocket of redcoat intel for years.its easy to see how the sunni iraqis controlled the shiite iraqis all these years.if the eary reports are true and ive got my doubts the occupying powers will have gotten a 3way civil war going. sounds like sistani the iranian had brain surgery not heart surgery.more death and destruction for the hapless iraqi people

It will be surprising if shiite communities listen to his call.
But it will be more surprising if the occupiers follow his call.

From swissinfo.org:
1- Al Sadr too asks to march on Najaf to break the siege: it is an appeal different from that of Sistani, said a spokesman.
2- Sheik Ali Sumeisim, sometimes spokesman of Al Sadr, arrested in a square of Najaf with four other contributors. Sumeisim is the custodian of the Ali mosque.

Althought I am a Greek Cypriot I live in the UK and nothing here was mentioned in the press about His eminence Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani's being in this country.
If he had major heart surgery it would have taken him more than two weeks to recover.
I only found out that he was supposed to be in the UK was because of the internet.

Good idea for Sadr would be to launch same call for a gathering in Najaf, it would make it hard to say who came for who.

Sorry to say that your site is getting useless and inaccessible.
No need to apologize. When you wrote it the site was apparently under the DOS attack. — moderator

Senile-stani may just be a senile old grandpa who has no idea of anything going on, and lives in cloud cuckoo land. Cuckoo...Cuckoo...Cuckoo.

Angioplasty is NOT major heart surgery. It is known as a catheterization and is all done through a tube inserted through the skin into a blood vessel. In the majority of cases no more than 2 or 3 days is required for recovery. Please don't confuse the issue for others if you have no idea what you are talking about - unless your motive is to confuse the issue which I suspect.

Is Sistani Illuminati???

No, merely an instrument thereof. Will the great man get to save the day? Will W's pre-convention farrago pay off? 'WW4' is being escalating enthusiastically?

The idea seems to be to get Sadr to quit Najaf without the need for more fighting. In effect Sistani is the proxy for the occupation forces.
It ought to be clear to absolutely everybody by now that this fellow is at the very least a grossly incompetent hindrance to the liberation of Iraq. And he may well be much worse than that.

123 You are right. It's so obvious. Still, interesting to wait and see what happens. Sistani want to help get Sadr out in the open where the Yanks can blast away freely and kill him, or BUY him from traitors. He's working for the occupation. That's clear.
