This is the real Iraq.
But nooo, all the bloggers and freeptards focus on are the few occasions where some kid gets a teddy bear or some contrived feel-good story in the midst of the rampant chaos and death.
"Don't listen to the librul media! Everything is fine and dandy in Iraq. 1/1000000th (read, hyperbole for ridiculously low %) of the country has electrical power now!!!!111"
Then they hear of the mercs getting slaughtered.

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I'm betting that Sistani won't back Sadr, though, because Sadr's not an Ayatollah, he's not a senior cleric, and he's aiming to carve out his own private fiefdom, as opposed to the Americans, who are planning on leaving eventually.

"The Wire" is the best show in the history of television. Watch it today.

"Eventually" being the key word- when their 14 "enduring bases" go is anyone's guess.

Yeah, but Sistani's not stupid. I bet he can see through Sadr.

This goes to show the difficulty in arresting someone who have 10.000 armed supporters. I doubt this attempted coup will get much support outside Sadr's normal crowd.
