US and Iraqi forces enter Sadr City

Sadr, City, the stronghold of the mumbling mullah, Muqtada al-Sadr, has some guests: US and Iraqi forces.

So far, the mullah's militia, the Mahdi Army, isn't putting up any resistance, but it could be like al-Sadr, they've left the impoverished section of Baghdad. Or, as Lt. Colonel David Oclander put it:

The indication that we are getting is a lot of the really bad folks have gone into hiding.

I wouldn't call this a victory yet, but I'm curious what the reaction of the cut-and-runners will be.
