At least Mohammed led his armies
His latter-day minions are pretty damn cowardly. Think about it. Osama is hiding in a cave on the Pak/Af’stan border. Moqtada al Sadr has been hiding since the surge was announced. Even the “secular” Saddam Hussein was found in a spiderhole, wretched and filthy, not having seen the sun in weeks. These are the people that are leading resistance? How could anyone be foolish enough to follow them and do their bidding?
The orders [to resist the surge] come from a diminished Sadr, who still has yet to poke his head above ground in Iraq since the beginning of the surge. At first, he fled to Iran supposedly to hold strategy meetings with senior Mahdi Army commanders and to consult with his Iranian allies, but most suspected he bugged out before the Americans could seize him and his most loyal followers.
Sad, sad, sad.
