An interesting article by way of the Chicago Tribune:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has ordered his militia not to confront U.S. forces and has endorsed negotiations aimed at easing the deployment of American troops in his strongholds, according to Sadrist and other Shiite officials.

Ahead of a planned surge of 21,500 U.S. troops intended to secure Baghdad, the cleric has instructed his al-Mahdi Army, recently described by the Pentagon as the biggest single threat to a stable Iraq, to keep a low profile and stay off the streets, Sadr officials say.

What do you suppose would happen if Democrats are successful in their single-minded quest to get out of Iraq ASAP?

Do you think Al Sadr’s warriors will then keep a low profile?
