Basra Iraq... tsk tsk tsk. We are seeing clashes between the Al-sadr militia and Iraq security forces. Recall that the British pulled out of Basra last summer/fall. This is a pretty good example of what might happen if Coalition forces exit quickly throughout Iraq. Obama, you want that on your resume? I know you will claim "I didn't start this war...", but the US needs to help finish it.

Not exactly sure Al-Sadr's intentions or desire, but the reality that he exists and has a large Shiite following.

Keep an eye on this one.
