We're doing the same in Iraq and yes, the Iraqi's would love to see our forces gone but they also understand that we need to be there for a while longer. The offensive on Basrah showed that part of the region that the Iraqi forces were becoming more in charge...taking the lead in THEIR country.

Also, the head Cleric Sistani has stated that Al-Sadr's army should lay down their weapons and become part of the political process. This dude more/less controls 60% of Iraq.
