Anti-U.S. cleric suspends his militia in Iraq - CNN.com

Well this is....odd to say the least.  Moqtada al-Sadr has ordered his militia to be suspended for six months for "restructuring".  What that means is anyone's guess, but if, and this is a BIG if, he wants to stop the attacks against US interests and wants to peacefully work towards Iraqi nation building, I'm cautiously for it.

That being said, if it turns out to be a ruse and he's only doing it to keep our guys off his ass while he rebuilds, I say slaughter them all.

 

"For the sake of public interest, we have decided to issue the following: Suspend the Mehdi Army, with no exception, for a maximum of six months starting from the date of this release, to restructure it in a way that would preserve its ideological principles," al-Araji said.
