"Al Sadr commands the Mahdi Army, one of the most formidable insurgent militias in Iraq."

Not any more.

Gotta love the Arab/Islamic combat model. When the going gets tough, flee!

It's a very popular model...the Democrats desperately want to institute that model for America.

Absolutely. They Flee, regroup and then come again. There will be no peace until Islam is dead.

They are not "fleeing", They're "redeploying".

Or maybe he is going to Iran to prepare for a possible American invasion of the "homeland".

That IS the Arab way of war. Flee from strength, hope they chase you into ambush, and wait them out.

The desert was the Arab's fortress, a place where they could go where enemies could not get to them (since they would not know where to find water), and from which they could attack when opportunity presented itself

I understand that the Mahdi Army is working with the French on designing a new combat tank.

It will have one forward speed and five reverse speeds.
