The IDF should really use this opportunity to cancel Mookie’s ticket.

Nouri may indeed have been killed by rival members of his Sadrist movement. It is rumored Nouri was pushing for the Sadrist movement to disband the Mahdi Army lest the party be shut out from the political process.

That would be my best guess as well.

.....Sistani said the militia should be disbanded as “the law is the only authority in the country.” .......US and Iraqi troops have advanced ......Iraqi and US troops continue to conduct raids......Iraqi security forces detained........In Diwaniyah, Iraqi security forces detained.......Iraq's Department of Border enforcement also seized...

Notice the way the article recognizes the maturation of Iraqi Security Forces. As long as this continues AND the law takes hold, Iraq will be successful.

Nancy and Harry are deeply, deeply saddened.

Hang tough, Maliki.

Sadrists vow to keep the Mahdi Army [Going down with the ship]

Oh!,.. sorta like Hillery.

Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the senior most Shia cleric in Iraq, has already said it was Sadr's responsibility to disband the Mahdi Army, as he was responsible for forming the militia. Sistani said the militia should be disbanded as “the law is the only authority in the country.”

BUMP!

Hang tough, Maliki.

BUMP!

Great article by Bill Roggio. Thanks for posting, T4B.

Good! The more of the Mahdi Murderers that are killed now, the less of them there will be to cause trouble later. The less criminals that will be loose on the streets when they stop pretending they are Mujahideen.
