Hmmm.  We have the attempted charm campaign by Ahmadinejad, we have Maliki suddenly announcing that the sectarian strife is coming to an end, and we now have Sistani telling his peeps to cool it for a while.  I think the shiites have figured out that if they get the violence under control the US "occupiers" will leave.  I think they also are smart enough to realize that the Sunnis are playing nice with us, and they had better get on board fast or they are gonna lose some territory or something.  Once we leave, Iran (shiite) has what they want, which is Iraq.  The Kurds are screwed, as evidenced by the Maliki government agreement with Turkey that was posted yesterday.

Shrug.  And the dems and the Bush administration will fall all over themselves to believe Maliki and Sistani, and will ignore the Iranian puppetmaster behind the curtain.  Hey, I guess it works for me if it gets our people out of there, except for one thing--my son will be draft age in 10 years.  Is this gonna come back to bite us in the ass because we were too beholden to muslim "international opinion" and PC pussified ROE to get the job done now?

El Pollo del Funk asks:

"Is this gonna come back to bite us in the ass because we were too beholden to muslim "international opinion" and PC pussified ROE to get the job done now?"

Uh, when are you asking this question- early 90's or mid to late oughts?

Those who ignore history, doomed to repeat..etc. etc. etc.

This was rhetorical, right?
