When Iraq is cleaned of Al-Qaeda, the Mahdi Army will lose a lot of influence. The only real reason they exist is as a “protector of the Shias” against Al-Qaeda. They need Al-Qaeda to justify their usefulness to the Shia population.

(Al Qaeda knows Iraq's strategic value, yet the Democrats work day and night for our defeat there.)
