From the MNF Press Release....
An Iraqi Army patrol, accompanied by U.S. Special Forces advisors, defeated elements of an armed criminal group that launched an unprovoked attack on Iraqi and U.S. forces conducting a patrol in Hussaniyah, a city north of Baghdad, April 22.

Surely at this point Maliki realizes his forces are sufficient with US/British Air Power support and if neccessary, US Special OPS units to bring down the Mahdi militia at it's various key based areas, south, east, and north of the capital.
I am sure Maliki has up to now been simply testing the relative strength of these forces, and sees he really can go hard against this militia in the near future. We do have to remember that ten or twenty thousand militia members could stay in the battle regardless of the outcome.
If the militia choose to fight an all out war, then it obviously would become quite bloody.
But they would lose in the end run.
