BAGHDAD — A company of Iraqi soldiers abandoned their positions on Tuesday night in Sadr City, defying American soldiers who implored them to hold the line against Shiite militias.

Forgive me: wasn't the battle in Sadr City billed as "a Proving Ground for Iraq Military"?

Recall: "As the Iraqis stand up, we will stand down."

We're still waiting.

Stop the madness!
