BAGHDAD (AFP) - A feared Shiite militia, accused by US commanders of operating death squads, is ready to disarm in its Baghdad bastion if police provide residents with protection, a government official has said.
One of two district commissioners appointed by the central government to administer the sprawling Sadr City area dominated by the Mahdi Army militia of radical leader Moqtada Sadr said the militia was ready to implement its offer as soon as government forces deployed.
If this most feared Shiite Militia man is willing to lay down arms why aren't we willing to do the same? I don't think there is an end in sight. I am certain we will invade Iran and any other Country Bush says is either a) Haboring Terrorists or b) Has Bombs (?) My View of It is that Bush is engaging in a bit of payback for his "daddy," the closer we get to the end of Bush's "Reign" the more things are going to escalate in the Middle East!
