Sadr's back in Iraq
I think he just made a mistake.
Bush isn't running for re-election and we have very little left to lose. The Times describes his return in a very passive voice; as one analyst notes,
“He has a great deal of administrative and management work to do,” said Toby Dodge, a Middle East expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. “He has to reassert control over an increasingly wayward military organization.”He should not be permitted the luxury of the initiative. He's not in charge. We shouldn't sit around wondering what he's going to do, especially while he rebuilds his strength. He's at his weakest now.Mr. Dodge, who recently spent a month in Iraq, added, “Clearly, he needs to make his mind up whether his military organization is a tool of rampant sectarianism or a tool of national reconciliation.”
