And I am convinced he has the full backing of Iran. If he gets killed, I think Iran would attack our troops in Iraq, believing they have justification.....something we do not need at this point for a number of reasons.

They are helping with the attacks on our people in Iraq through people like Sadr.


Tell me something I don't know.

They won't start rolling their army in to Iraq. They don't want to lose it and they don't want to provoke the US to possibly invade Iran. They would rather continue supporting Iraqis against us. It costs them less and gives them more deniability. The main way to handle that is to reign destruction down on groups like the Mehdi Army. If we appear weak in response to Sadr and his ilk there will only be more of them for Iran to arm.

I am not saying to be weak with Sadr. I am saying do not kill him. You capture him.
