Sadr For Keeps

For many moons I have claimed that Mookie is smarter than the average bear. In my more heated moments I claimed he was an Iraqi patriot, to boot, and once or twice I wildly predicted that he'd wind up something of a Mesopotamian Ataturk. Well, now that Maliki himself is angling for that role, Sadr is...not that surprisingly...recalibrating: presenting the Mahdi Non-Army.
