#1 What a minute, it sounds like Iraq needs Allawi as pm. No?

#2 Unfortunately, Sistani let his name be used in campaigns for the UIA slate.

Now, Sistani and the residents of Najaf are feeling heat from the minions of Tater. If Sistani has a plan to deal with Tater its a mystery to anyone. At least Sistani didn't let himself be fooled into the 'they killed people in the mosque' scam at the end of last month.

#4 thanks ed

Interesting read. However I still don't know what Sistani's anti-Tater plan is or whether he even has one or whether Sistani even has the influence he once had or even whether Sistani realizes his "Let's keep the Shia United" meme in-effect empowers Tater

#5 I don't know, that article seems a bit too hopeful to me. No plan is ever that devious and well executed.

But Sadr's in trouble cause Jaafari (or however you spell it) is also done. We could stick a fork in both of em, but it seems we'll have to wait a bit longer while we wait for the typical Islamic bluster/bravado steam to be let out.

But they are both done.
