“There may be someone other than Muqtada Al Sadr leading the party," Saybani.
If that was a prophesy then the attack on Najaf was preconceived not by the United Statesians but rather Sadr and company. Thus the U.S. military has been drawn into a battle it only thinks it has engineered and as such only appears to be moving along behind Sadr.
