LA Times Article Title: Top-Level Talks With Al-Sadr Militia Collapse
My Commentary
Ok, so we got this supposedly 'get-tough' PM, Iyad Allawi who vows he will destroy the terrorists and militias running away from Najaf but he has to flee like a little girl once the Mahdi Army gets after him. Oh yeah, he is soooo tough. Allawi would last 2 hours once the last US troops leave Iraq, then he will surely suffer the fate of many other turncoats against his people, like the Vichy regime, and the collaborators in south vietnam. Anyway, ALlawi has been talkin' smack for a while now how he will get tough, and the bs story to pump up his image about how he executed prisoners. anyway, how long will it last that the iraqi police always has to call in the US to save their sorry lives? This can't go on indefinitely, obviously.
Now, here is the article from LA Times.

Top-Level Talks With Al-Sadr Militia Collapse
By Edmund Sanders and David Holley, Times Staff Writers
NAJAF, Iraq -- Interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and top U.S. military officials made an emergency visit on Sunday to Najaf hoping to end the Shiite insurrection, but their efforts failed and they had to be hustled out of town amid renewed attacks by followers of the radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
After arriving on a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter and traveling through the holy city in a convoy of a dozen heavily armored vehicles, Allawi met with regional Iraqi officials and U.S. military commanders in the city center. He demanded that al-Sadr's fighters lay down their weapons, but his plea seemed to fall on deaf ears.
