#2 "If the Sayyid ordered us, we would rise up right now," Abu Zahara said. "We would not pay attention to the tanks or helicopters. Nothing would stop us."

Sounds like Abu's getting hisself riled up to send his stoopid minions out to die in little squishy shreds between the tank treads and splodey bits from helicopter gunship weaponry. He, of course, will be too important to The Cause to sacrifice himself

#4 There was no "deal" between Sadr and the central government. He got beat and gave up, pure and simple. Same goes for the Basra situation.

This is just media BS making much ado of nothing.
