| Anti-American bloc gains ground ahead of Iraq vote |
| 2010-02-25 |
| The political movement of Iraq's best-known anti-American cleric has emerged as a major contender in next month's national elections, raising the possibility that the next prime minister could be openly hostile to the U.S. and friendly toward Iran. A prime minister loyal to Muqtada al-Sadr might push the U.S. military to speed up its withdrawal timetable and pose a threat to future military and economic cooperation between the United States and Iraq. Such a choice also could undermine efforts to reconcile Iraq's religious groups, with memories still fresh of brutal sectarian warfare between al-Sadr's Shiite militiamen and Sunni extremists. |

| #3 In other words, Biden went back on behalf of the sunni - that fled to Jordan. Ergo, Iran shook hands with baby Assad to make sure this vote happens and so Iran can control Iraq? way to go, joe, a-hole. |
