The MSM has been banking on Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki losing this battle so they can start reporting on Iraq again. Even though quite a few people died, Moqtada was the first to wave the white flag. Suck it libtard journalists....
Iraq's radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Sunday ordered his fighters off the streets, paving the way for an end to clashes with security forces that have killed hundreds of people.
"We want the Iraqi people to stop this bloodshed and maintain Iraq's independence and stability," Sadr said in a statement with his seal released by his headquarters in the holy city of Najaf.
"For that we have decided to withdraw from the streets of Basra and all other provinces."
He said he took the decision as it was his "legitimate responsibility to stop the bleeding of Iraqis, to maintain the reputation of Iraqi people, the unity of land and people, to prepare for its independence and liberation from the dark forces and to quell the fire of division by the occupier and its followers."

Why is Sadr still alive? He should have been zapped long ago.
