Amazing what an increasing strong and well trained army can do for your confidence.
BASRA, Iraq (AP) — Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is promising to pursue his fight against Shiite militias in Basra to "the end."
Al-Maliki made his pledge to Basra area tribal leaders Thursday as military operations against the militias continued for a fourth day despite stiff resistance.
Al-Maliki told the leaders "we have made up our minds" to enter the fight "and we will continue until the end. No retreat."
Tens of thousands of Shiites took to Baghdad's streets to protest the government crackdown on militias.
