The Iraqi federal government has sent 15,000 security forces and they are "conducting aggressive military operations … trying to rid the city of militias, thugs, smugglers that have been plaguing it for months".

I see that more clearly ... than you do. - Or can, for that matter

You say nothing.

The above quote that I gave you is from a spokeman for our military. The fact that you choose to ignore it speaks for itself.

Ignore this, little one:

al-Maliki said he was "surprised to see that party emerge with all the weapons available to it and strike at everything — institutions, people, departments, police stations and the army."

al-Maliki's comments appeared to reinforce suspicions that his government failed to foresee the backlash, including a sharp upsurge in violence

a group of police in the Mahdi Army's Baghdad stronghold of Sadr City abandoned their posts and handed over their weapons to al-Sadr's local office.

al-Maliki acknowledged he may have miscalculated by failing to foresee

the minister either is circumscribed in his powers to remove Sadr, or unsure that he has that ability at all.

The U.S. military had no immediate comment

Why don't you use more childish vitrol on those who dare to disagree with you and ignore that?
