This dumbass should be happy he didn't get shot.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. military on Saturday defended the arrest and detention of a powerful Iraqi Shiite politician's son, a day after the U.S. ambassador to Iraq apologized for it.
Backed by coalition forces, Iraqi border security troops initially stopped Ammar al-Hakim on Friday because "the vehicles met specific criteria for further investigation in an area where smuggling activity had taken place," the military said in a statement Saturday.
U.S. military troops then arrested al-Hakim and his companions when "at the time" they failed to "cooperate with coalition forces and displayed suspicious activities." You're not special. You should have cooperated and the whole thing would have blown over.
Al-Hakim is the son of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, the leader of the United Iraqi Alliance and the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. Who gives a fuck.
The father has close ties to both Iran and the United States and is considered by some people the most powerful Shiite politician in Iraq. The UIA is the dominant political coalition in Iraq, and SCIRI is one of the leading parties in the UIA. Then his son should have known better than to start shit.
The incident has already sparked demonstrations in the southern city of Basra, and a SCIRI-affiliated TV station said more protesters might take to the streets on Saturday to denounce the act. Fuck them.
Shortly after the incident occurred, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad said, "I'm sorry about the arrest." Pussy
The military's statement on Saturday did not include an apology. Good on them.
Yeah, lets help them create a society where the ruling elite gets special privlidges. They can all fuck off.
Good on the troops for being professional. Fuck the little punk who thinks he's special.
