#1 but rather see him being picked up in a few months time after the hand-over of power.

That'd work.

Please note the previous Rantburg article about some pre-unpleasantness elections in the marshes of southern Iraq, and my commentary on same. I doubt anyone here would want to have to choose between having Sadr or Sistani run their life. There are probably plenty of Iraqis that feel the same way.

#4 And I just noticed the link for this post goes to Al Jazeera. Which may mean it's spin, as they change gears from "that Sadr boy is really teaching the Americans a lesson" to "so they could have handled Sadr, but it was really Sistani teaching the Americans a lesson..."

Bah! I reiterate! Bah!

This calls for a good Nero Wolfe quote, but I can't think of one.

#5 Sistani should be told to present Sadr's head on a platter in 48 hours or watch as the US forces remove the rubbish from his holy cities. Any outcome that leaves Sadr and his "army" alive is not an acceptable solution.
