Watching CNN just now, Ret. Brigadier General James "Spider" Marks advised against US forces trying to "neutralize" Moqtada Al-Sadr because, in his words, "sometimes you're better off with the devil you know."
Maybe this was simply an idle comment, but I can't help but reflect upon the fact that Gen. Marks was the lead intelligence officer for the US land war during the invasion of Iraq. I wonder if he understood, in 2003, that "sometimes you're better off with the devil you know", or whether subsequent events have educated him.
