Well, it’s not just Sadr’s militia that is involved. There’s the Badr Brigade, and other militias associated with the ruling parties that are fighting. Lucky for us, the Shiites aren’t united with Sadr.
If Iraq is EVER to be a “stand alone” entity - free of blackmail by Sadr and his type -— Basra needs to be a major “Sadr milita” gravesite and wasteland.....along with how ever much of Sadr City within Baghdad must be leveled to “make the point”....
Jihad is war..... These Jihadists THINK they have seen war.
War can be a real bitch when a World Power determines to “make war”...... not play tit for tat slap face...
