I don't know how much credibility to give this, but one commentator on Fox suggested that now that Al Sadr is out of the "holy shrine" he is fair game. If he's taken into custody soon, maybe it was smart to get him out of there--if not, then I have to think this is a huge mistake. (Not ours, Iraq's.)
yesterday it was 20 bodies. What are the reporters doing just making things up to send out? The reporters sound like kerry and his minions. (cant keep the facts straight)
I believe you are correct. The first priority had to be getting him out of the mosque. Now that he's out he has two choices, behave or give them cause to pick him up again. Without the mosque for protection he's probably dead meat if he doesn't flee to Iran. He might also wind up "mysteriously" dead.
