But of course the goon who wrote the story had to add: “Peter Harling, a Damascus-based analyst at the International Crisis Group thinktank, doubted Tuesday’s operation would succeed in removing the Mehdi Army from Sadr City. ‘They’ll lie low but they could retake control of the city any time...’”.

Of course, at the end of the article we have this bullshiite.

Peter Harling, a Damascus-based analyst at the International Crisis Group thinktank, doubted Tuesday's operation would succeed in removing the Mehdi Army from Sadr City.

"They'll lie low but they could retake control of the city any time," he told Reuters. "The Sadrists feel weakened, feel threatened and this increases the potential for violence."

Sadr was acquiescing because he did not want an out-and-out confrontation, he said. "The cost to him would be huge."

Great job by all. The Iraqi’s are standing up. Peace be with them as they restore their country after decades of totalitarian rule.

Did they find any toothbrushes or dental floss on the premises?

Why Sadr is allowed to continue breathing is an amazement to me.

Now’s the time to start cleaning up and modernizing that ‘sprawling slum’, and maybe folks won’t be so enamored of Mookie in the future, because he obviously did nothing for them except bring grief and violence down on their heads.
