Recent “clashes” in Sadr City have left 8 dead and 19 wounded.  Loyal readers will of course remember our post on only 5 days ago where we discussed the recent truce agreement and how hard it must be for anyone, let alone Senator McCain, to keep the players separate.  Like most in the media, we hoped this agreement signaled that peace had finally arrived to this embattled city.  Alas.  We’ll continue to hold our breath though because according to Iranian media reports, Moqtada al-Sadr is optimistic that the peace will hold.

Bottom Line: Where is the outrage?  Our men and women are dying to protect a “peace” brokered by Iran between a dysfunctional Iraqi government and local cleric in the Baghdad slum of Sadr City and somehow this is supposed to relate back to making us safe from terrorists?  Get real. The gig is up.
