The Lull In Iraq

By The Daily Dish

If the Sadrite militias just melt away, does that mean they're defeated? A useful corrective to complacency from Abigail Hauslohner:

"I think the situation is still very fragile," said Talal Ahmed Said, a political writer in Baghdad. "It's possible for any explosion to happen at any time." He thinks the Amara campaign is a sham. "They announced [Amara] a week before [it happened], so all members of the [radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's] Mahdi Army left. After a month they could come back, and likewise in Mosul and Basra."
