If he tries another "uprising," it will be the third time. The other two times he made the mistake of direct battle, his forces were wiped out, and Sadr suddenly turned into a "politician," and banked his forces for another day.

This time I'm hoping the job gets finished. Sadr is one of the main drivers of the sectarian violence we've been seeing.

Two of Sadr's partner groups in the government have bailed on him.

The Diwaniyah fight, called "Operation Black Eagle," is not going in Sadr's favor, either.

Seiff might be letting his own agenda get in his way. I thought we got rid of the "imminent attack on Iran" fantasy.
