#1 I have hope that those two matters will be done in less than six months ~~or it could be sixty years inshallah~~, since militias have started complying and the government is imposing itself.

Yep, peace is litterally breaking out all over. "Hope" is not a method.

#2 I have hope that those two matters will be done in less than six months since militias have started complying and the government is imposing itself. Our success in ending the militias will lead to a success in national reconciliation, Al Maliki said.

Hmmmm, funny how that just happens to coincide with the 6-month window for tangible results from the surge that have been bandied about in the press.
