Is al-Maliki on Crack?

The Real News Network is totally kick ass and this story gives awesome insight into the violence still occuring in Baghdad even after a al-Sadar has called a cease fire. There is a question to who is actually attacking the Green Zone; whether it be members of the Mehdi Army or another group piggybacking on their success. The clip goes on to show part of al-Maliki's speech demanding the Mehdi Army disband in order for al-Sadar to participate in the October elections. Don't you have to win a battle before making demands? But even if he does decide to dispand the milita, it will be in response, according to Reuters, to the advice from Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.
