"Where I come from, the guy who retreats lost. al-Sadr retreated."

How is staying in the same area a retreat? Before the attacks, al-Sadr's forces controlled about 70% of Basra. Afterwards, they controlled about 70% of Basra.

Is this some novel definition of "retreat" you are using?

Maliki left Basra and retreated to the green zone. Sadr is still at his base in Iran (after Maliki's envoys came to negotiate).

TP

Maliki didn't achieve any of his objectives and al-Sadr came out intact.

Where I come from, the guy who retreats lost. al-Sadr retreated.

That's pretty much the entire story.

You goofball.....the joint chiefs of staff is questioning the Maliki win, and yet, you continue to play Mr. Pentagon. Oh wait.......I forgot you have an inside line to Iraq that brings you the truth 24/7. LMAO.
