Maliki ought to replace the local police force with military....sounds like he's doing that. Roundup and disarm anyone packing.

It’s disturbing to note that the Iraqi government our younguns’ sacrifices helped create is sitting down at the negotiating table with not only Al Sadr, but also Alquds. It was a bad idea when israel started doing that, as history has proven, but at least they held out for half a century. The ink’s barely dry on the Iraqi constitution, and they’re already dealing with terrorists instead of simply dealing death to them.
