From everything I have been reading, his power has greatly diminished, largely due to Iraqis themselves becoming fed up with him. As long as there are warlords like him trying to kill other religious groups, they really can't blame all their problems in the U.S. There have to be a lot of Iraqis by now who don't want to go on living with endless strife.

I wrote a letter to the U.S. air force, a while ago, asking them to carefully
drop a jdam down Al Saadr's thoat. I got no reply and they didn't do
what I asked. Darn! And when I see the nazi loving Hezbollah troops doing their John Cleese
''funny walk'' style of marching, I long for the legalization of napalm again.
