#1 I think Tater needs to get a special invite for a meeting where someone will pull out a gun and shoot him in the head.

#2 Boy am I confused!

He joined the Shiite parrty, who don't want to change the constitution, but he says it's no good.

Federalism is bad, but he want to maintain his own army, to work inside and outside Iraq.

The Sunnis like him, the Iranians like him - is he going to join up with Iminajag as the 12th Whoois?

#3 And his picture is different, isn't it?

His finger used to be farther from his nose, right?

#4 Bremer was right about Tater. This guy should have been an ex-Tater 3 year ago.

#5 Please note that now he is "influential" and a "kingmaker". Which sounds better than what he was being called before.

#8 Why is this guy still stealing precious oxygen that could be used by far more deserving lifeforms like cockroaches and lice?

#9 The people of the United States affirm our support for the choice of al-Sadr to participate in democratic elections. If that means formation of a government that is an enemy of the American people, then we will have to point the blame at our 70 year old strong-man/client state policies in the Middle East. Freedom is our watchword, and it will bring us peace in 50 years or so, after the Arab and Persian peoples decide to abandon Taliban style Islamic Statism. Whatever happens, we will keep up the subsidies, and demonstrate our resolve against all adversity. The American people are prepared to take all casualties, necessary to advance eventual freedom, and bare all expenses.

#10 Freedom is our watchword, and it will bring us peace in 50 years or so, after the Arab and Persian peoples decide to abandon Taliban style Islamic Statism.

Unless Persian and Arab governments abandon the sponsorship of terrorism a lot sooner than 50 years from now, many of those countries will be glassed over glow-in-the-dark parking lots. I'd say about 50 months (not years) is all they have.
