BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Powerful Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr extended his Mehdi Army militia ceasefire by six months on Friday, a decision U.S. officials said would help foster reconciliation among Iraq's divided communities.
I sure hope we've thanked al-Sadr.
At the very least, I hope that we've voided the outstanding arrest warrant against him (issued by Bremer).
To the extent that the surge is "working", we can thank Moqtada and the Mahdi Army. It may be reasonable to restrict raids into Sadr City - don't make these guys mad!
