#1 You MUST check out the little icon-sized pic of Sistani available now on Google World News. Hurry before they change it. 'Tis the Look of 100% Self-Absorbtion. There's nobody home, folks - this guy is gone. Bigger version if you click it...

#2 He looks like a nut--just like the Ayatollah Khomeini did.

And I think this Sistani dude is "All turban and no jihad."
The interim constitution is already signed and Sistani ain't on the council.
As for the UN, I think that Koffi and his gang are about as popular with Iraqis as they are with Americans.

#4 At this point with the Trans admin law already signed, i think it may be time to be a tad firmer with Sistani. I dont share dot coms view, but I think he does live too isolated from the day to day political realities that even his own allies face, and that our previous concessions to him, though justified on the face of it, may have given him an overinflated idea of his own influence. Its time to take him down a notch - in particular by ignoring him on this issue with regard to the Constitution and the UNSC res.

#5 Agreed, LH. Those are ways for him to lose face a bit. Let him figure out why he's not there.
