Excellent news, if true. However, the one big variable still remains: the Mahdi Army. If you further marginalize Al Sadr, he’ll either kick his people into action to get some power back, or his people will just break further away from him and do their own coordinated attacks. Still, though, better to fight one “army,” rather than two.

Let them try, al Douri is a professional Military go for the throat kind of guy. Iraqi Forces combined with U.S. Military and this sudden shift of forces on the battlefield will be devastating.
