FTA: The once fearsome Muqtada al-Sadr has been very quiet lately in Iraq. Political analyst Amir Hassan Fayht says the reason the onetime Iraqi militant shows less and less political muscle is simple. "He gave it up," says Fayht, dean of the college of political science at Baghdad University, "just like that." Thank you President Bush for delivering an EPIC FAIL to this Ayatollah wannabe.
Only the people counting the votes can undermine al-Sadr. The occupation increases his influence as more Iraqis get feed up with foreign troops who refuse to leave.
