The IRAQI POWER STRUGGLES... and The Big Prize of Basra:

"All of the militias are vying for one grand prize: the vast oil reserves in the earth below Basra...."

The Baghdad government's lies about 'even-handed disarmament' of Militias. "The government is not a neutral party in this conflict." According to Alani, the government forces focused on Sadr's militia while ignoring their own allies' militias....

The "Republic of Militias". In his book "Republic of Fear," Iraqi exile Kanan Makiya describes the terrorist state that came to an end with the fall of Baghdad five years ago. Today the Lebanese weekly newspaper Al-Akhbar describes the nation it has become as a "Republic of Militias." According to the paper, everyone in Iraq is looking out for themselves, from the "Kingdom of Kurdistan" in the north to the Sunnis -- now equipped with their own alliances thanks to American help -- to the Shiite warlords in the south.
