Moqtada Sadr will consult Iraqi and Iranian leaders and disband his Mehdi Army militia if they instruct him to!
"Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr offered on Monday to disband his militia if the highest Shi'ite religious authority demand it, a shock announcement at a time when the group is the focus of an upsurge in fighting.
It was the first time Sadr has offered to dissolve the Mehdi Army militia, whose black-masked fighters have been principle actors throughout Iraq's five-year-old war and the main foes of U.S. and Iraqi forces in widespread battles over recent weeks.
Senior Sadr aide Hassan Zargani said Sadr would seek rulings from Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's most senior Shi'ite cleric, as well as senior Shi'ite clergy based in Iran, on whether to dissolve the Mehdi Army, and would obey their orders.
If they order the Mehdi Army to disband."

Madtowntripper said: From what I read in the Tribune this morning, the only cease-fire that Sadr has offered is the one with the exact same terms he offered last week. Release of all of his followers held in jail and no more arrests.
If Maliki agrees to this, he is basically saying that Sadr kicked his ass and he has no recourse.
You're fucking dumb.
Now al-Sadr plans to disarm the Mahdi militia, and change it to a social services organization that focuses on education, religion and social justice⦠all without weaponry......
Al-Sadr's army is turning into Liberal Democrats.

If he actually does this, it would be a monstrous step in the right direction for Iraq's future.
