Here's the deal. Sadr will sit down and shut up.

What kind of a deal can we possibly make with this guy? How can there be a deal with an Islamic fanatic?
Next we'll be making a deal with Osama.
I just don't get it.

And disband his militia/his de facto courts. Private armies are incompatible with centralized government.

Any deal that leaves him inside Iraq and leaves his band of thugs intact is a loss for us. It would buy us time and calm things down, which is good in the short term, but it would also legitimize this punk and let him claim that he backed down the Great Satan. It will ultimately increase his power; it won't solve the problem, it'll just defer it.
Maybe we should do like the Muslims do when they give their word...break it at the first opportunity. Y'know, say we'll give him safe passage to Iran, and the second he walks out of the mosque in Najaf, a sniper on a nearby hill with an M82 puts a .50 caliber through his gullet. If the .50 misses, well, that's what the orbiting four-ship of F-15Es is for...a few JDAMs right on top of his turban should do it.
Hey, it's how TROP(tm) would do it, right?

As someone else said, the best deal is to get him exiled to Iran. That sends the message what he's really about.

I think Bush's endorsement of Israeli West Bank settlements today was a response to the uprising.

I guess Kill or Capture was just posturing?

What kind of a deal can we possibly make with this guy?That's what I'd like to know. And I'm especially wondering what happens when he "determines" somewhere down the line that we've broken the deal, or that the deal is no longer convenient for him. One thing we definitely do not need is an Arafat figure in Iraq.

Sadr's Mehdi Army has launched an uprising across Iraq, which the occupation forces are hard-pressed to suppress.
I suppose this twisted report is Al Jazeera's way of saving face.
To: Shermy
Handcuffed, then firing squad I hope.

His deal should be some lead in the head.
To: Shermy
Perhaps Iran decided to pull the plug...

A reasonable solution is the total disbanding of all militia elements, the public hanging of all members, and in return the US agrees to hack his body into 500 equal parts intermixed with pig parts, rather than 1000.

No deal. He is a murderer and has announced that he is the Iraqi arm of Hammas, ready to kill Americans.
Kill him or capture him, but don't repeat, don't let him walk.
