Hi Swopa. Your last three paragraphs are among the very few sage paragraphs I read about this terrible war. Great stuff. Thanks.

Apparently going to Maliki’s home town & killing his nephew wasn’t such a hot idea.

wow, swopa, would have taken me longer….

bonger–
no, i don’t want a stinkin’ pc
they’re copycat ’puters
and just not for me.

they used to have lists
and drives a.b.c
till they stole all the icons
from apple for free.

so, no, mr. smartass : )
i don’t want the ’puter
that needs a real tech
cuz it always dumps the printer.

ctuttle’s post–the first three+ minutes of the video…the stuff about iraq…..sistani has 4 stipulations-one is military status i mention later-and two of them can never bet met i bet, no, three, so it’s chinese riddle….and they gave pretty words for the ’twin agreements’ –one of four referendum agreements-status of us military forces in irak after 2008 and ’framework for diplomatic relations’-bet that means oil agreement.

so which way will al-Sistani go… with al-Sadr or with al-Hakim ?

This has been one of the more fascinating elements of Sistani-watching the past five years. Sistani leans toward Hakim, but values Shiite unity more highly — he has stepped in several times over the years to keep Sadr in the game when Hakim/Dawa tried to cut him out.

At the same time, he’s stood by during various crackdowns on the Sadrists. The moral seems to be that he wants Sadr contained, but not destroyed.

Late and it may have been said by someone else but Maliki probably has already made the calculation that Obama is going to be the next President, and rather than behind the curve he has decided to get out in front of it and pretend that a withdrawal on a Obama timeline was his idea all along.
