Despite what Tony Blair said today during his press conference about getting rid of militias who are fighting against US and British forces, there are increasing rumors about militias, such as al Sadr and his lot, being included in the new political system in Iraq. Considering the fighting that has gone on recently, this will be an interesting turn of events and I look forward to hearing how the administration is going to reverse its course on these terrorists of yesterday. Does this mean that al Sadr is no longer wanted dead or alive? Was he an evil man before as we were told or is he somehow a freedom fighter? Interesting days ahead.
"A senior allied official said Monday that the Americans were engaged in delicate negotiations with several of the country's main militias to disband and integrate them into the security forces. The official said the Americans hoped to announce an agreement with the militias as early as this week." - NY TimesThis "integration" is going to be something to follow.
