#1 Iraq's Little Frog is getting nervous that the Iranian bullfrogs will take over?

#2 The sunni and shia and kurds and the tribes are getting actual representation from the Iraqi Government right now. It is actually exactly the finest representation that Nation has had in half a Century.

Iran is not happy. The Mullahs want complete control over Iraq. Not going to happen.

Better you took it when you could than leaving Iraq for Iran to become another puppet

#5 I remember the day he departed Sadr City with his merry band, weapons, ammo, and gear in tow given safe passage. He and his clan were easy targets, ripe for the picking. Allied forces were waved off by you know who. Everyone knew it was a mistake at the time. It remains a mistake, now with a legacy all it's own.

#6 Looks like little Mooky may have learned a bit more from his old man than was first thought. His old man was a political survivor who learned not to let anyone control him nor to trust anyone. Populist roots perhaps. Either that or Mooky did the math and saw all that Iran has to offer him, in the end, is either dancing on puppet strings or else dangling from an Al Quds rope when he is no longer useful.
