Be Careful What You Ask For

From IDS News in March of 2003: Rumsfeld still hopes for Shiite rebellion.

From today's New York Times:

Mr. Sadr, a radical Shiite cleric who fiercely opposes American-led military forces in Iraq, has inspired a band of fighters and militias in Najaf, the Shiite slum of Sadr City in northeast Baghdad, and other Shiite towns in Iraq to resist the occupation in an uprising that surged in April and erupted again in recent days.

Link.

Mr. Rumsfeld got his Shiite rebellion. Enjoy it, Donald.
