I dont know if Sadr is that smart, but his strategy isn't bad. Also if his men keep up the fight (unlike saddams troops as the US reached Baghdad) as soon as the US moves in, it becomes a urban warfare which could result in "high" (higher then usual) american losses which is bad for the "homefront"
All in all it is not an easy situation for the USA.
