1. This is a bad deal
And this is just a small sampling of al-Sadr's militia. Also the 80, 000 strong Sunni militia that we were paying off to help us is getting pissed off and walking away from us too. You're looking at a situation where a reloaded Mahdi army and a U.S. armed and funded Sunni militia are sitting around simmering in a pressure cooker. When they both blow, they are going to blow. It looks to be worse than the levels of violence we've seen in 2005 and 2006.
