#1 notes

1. Chalabi has broken with the UIA and is running on his own

2. Sistani is NOT endorsing the UIA list this time

#2 What was Sistani's reasoning though LH? To distance himself from politics as he has said he would do, or because of other political reasons.

And Chalabi was bascially run out of the organization wasn't he?

#3 when you're as holy as Sistani is, you dont have to give reasons for what you do :) And thats only have facetious = I havent seen an explanation, and I dont expect to see one. I would suspect hes trying to distance himself and the Margiya (sp?) from the UIA, which seems to have been less successful in governance than many hoped.

Chalabi pushed out of UIA? First ive heard of that.
