File under: Mahdi Army

#1 Very sound analysis. Iraq's path will be slow, twisting, and as unsatisfying to many of us as it is characteristic of the region and the country (uh, that is, except when the country is under the thumb of an absolute despot). But there shouldn't be any smart money on Sadr.

#2 This time, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki issued a contrarian press release, however, calling the Iraqi Army's anti-militia operations in southern Iraq a "success."

Did he remind people to check whose forces were patrolling the streets?
