#1 The Sunni Arabs are very angry about what's going on in the Kurdish controlled areas.

Shortly after OIF Sunni Arabs warned the Kurds than they would begin a campaign of suicide bombings in case the Kurds tried to recover the lands stolen under Saddam. Apprantly for Sunni Arabs it is not merely that once Muslim a land must remain for ever Muslim but that once (Sunni) Arab it must remain for ever (Sunni) Arab.

#3 Tater will soon be assasinated by the Sunni, just as his father and uncle were.

And we will laugh and laugh as the Mahdi militia wages all out war against the local Sunni militias.

Maybe old Zarqi will recant his protection for Tater as well, and Al Q and the Mahdi will have a new beef as well.

They will wipe each other out quite nicely, and two birds will be killed with one stone.

And me with no popcorn.

#4 "Something interesting is liable to happen, or else the tribal elders will just negotiate another compromise deal"

Something will happen. Unless it doesnt. In other news, it will rain this weekend. Or it wont.

Not strategypages most interesting forecast :)

#5 Judging from history the Shia militia evidently have their asses handed to them by the Sunni.
