Meaning, if Bush is on track... the ouster of al-Sadr should have a HUGE impact on the overall rebellion going on in Iraq to quench it. On the other hand, should Bush be off in his estimations/presumptions about the people of Iraq, al-Sadr's removal, like Saddam's removal, will not stem the tide of violence in Iraq, proving Bush is WAY off in his beliefs about the Iraqi people. Thoughts? -to
