Don't make wild assumptions about Sistani. He is playing this game better than anyone in-country. Right now the US is about to be completely indebted to him. He can turn off or let loose Sadr as he pleases. It is a shame our president is not as smart. But then in the 60 Minutes interview with Bob Woodward, George Jr talks so much like Richard Nixon - about all those smart elitists out there. Makes one sort of forget that George Jr is suppose to be a Yale graduate and has a graduate degree.

Lose Sistani's support and all hell breaks loose against Americans. A situation so bad that the Spanish today ordered an immediate removal of all troops from Iraq. They can do that. Unlike Ukraine, Spain is not there due to political blackmail.

Iraq is that tenuous. The mental midget president has even played right into being completely indebted to Ayatollah Sistani - currently the smartest and most sane man in-country.
