Iraqi Army, Sadr's Mahdi Army Battle in Amara
Topics: IraqJust what is it about the Maliki government in Iraq that tells me this is what one expects when you place too much trust with people who don't even recognize the meaning of the word.
Maliki is way too dependent upon Sadr in order to stay in power, and we can expect sectarian violence to reach a point of no return at which time Maliki will either be removed from government or Iraq disintergrates into even greater chaos. The problem is what the U.S. should have recognized, and may have, from the very begining of the current Iraqi government - "Sadr cannot be left to controlling the Mahdi Army and remain in government without risking the disintegration of the Iraqi state. His escalation of the sectarian violence has put Maliki's national reconciliation program on hold, and increases the chance of groups sitting on the fence to turn to al-Qaeda."
