#1 "He's just waiting for the American withdrawal &0151; once the coalition forces are out they can do whatever they like."

I hope the original plan still holds: once Iraq has settled down to a level of disorder that can be handled by properly trained locals, the somewhat reduced US forces withdraw to permanent bases, much like was done in Germany and Japan after the second world war. At which point dear Mr. al Sadr can wait for the several generations it seems to take for a region to settle down.
