Because the US needs al Sadr. He is key to the possibility calming violence between rival faction tearing up Baghdad. Iraq needs leadership. He has shown some capability to provide his own security.

And not to mention, he has his own small army, well equipped to, if he wasn't holding them back anymore, then they'd probably be on the streets of Baghdad shootin at sunnis, and fueling the civil war

He's protected by the fact that he is a "legitimate" part of the government. We should have taken him out two years ago.
Now, if some Sunni insurgent group just happened to get him.....

I believe he's part of the Iraqi government in some capacity. Killing him will open a can of fire breathing worms. You don't want that.

I believe the US should concentrate on why we went to war in the first place, to fight al-Quaida. So where is Osama again?
