I think Sadr’s job in all this is to pressurize the change putting fear into all those who continue to try to stall this.
I think Sadr is on board with Abadi and is taking an active roll in pushing this agenda the only way he can be of benefit to Abadi.
By threatening to over run the green zone he has been able to get everyone going the same direction through that fear.
Ministers quiting that otherwise might have tried to stay on, antagonistic blocks backing down from pushing to delay, etc. etc.
I don’t think under any circumstances would he actually go in and wipe the government out.
But he has put the fear of Allah in the corrupt politicians and they aren’t sure if he means what he says.
This is why I think Abadi will be able to get this government seated quickly.
Sadr is the bulldozer working with Abadi clearing the way for the reforms, while Abadi quickly gets them in place before the SOL and the other corrupt have a chance to organize.
