Since the Iraqi government can and is likely to continue the program, I don't see why you think its shortterm. I don't know where you are geting that... from the article: "The Shiite-dominated government has never been pleased with the continuing American plan to finance and organize Sunni insurgents into militia guards, charging that they will stop fighting only as long as it serves their interests. “These people are like cancer, and we must remove them,” said Brig. Gen. Nassir al-Hiti, commander of the Iraqi Army’s 5,000-strong Muthanna Brigade, which patrols west of Baghdad, said of the Awakening leaders on his list for arrest." The elected government are the good guys. The bad guys are the ones blowing up things. al-Sadr's folks are elected. If they government hunts down the former insurgents we are currently paying then whose side are we on, the good guys or the bad guys?
