Al-Sadr is the kingmaker in today's Iraqi politics. Take off your rose-colored glasses - it's exactly as if the head of the Crips were in Congress or the White House.
The values of freedom and democracy we planted in Iraq have led to the election of Shia Islamists closely allied to Iran. You have no answer to that. In Egypt they led to the election of the Muslim Brotherhood. You have no answer to that. In Gaza they led to the election of Hamas. You have no answer to that.
Get your head out of the sand.
Some of your stuff indicates to me that you have assets in the area.
I think that it is so that the US has been "played" by Al-Sadr in recent months in the elections. They are playing us, but on the other hand, this administration here gets not enough credit for their handling of the situation. My opinion.
Clearly the media is clueless concerning current events over there.
I'm tired, but I look forward to your future posts.
We shall see what happens.
Oh is that the guy making speeches on the world stage and getting all the MSM limelight? Not. He was, at one time, a big fish in a small pond. That was until the US told him to back-off...and so-far he's played nice.
Nuff said - You haven't a clue what you are talking about - That is the biggest bunch of rubbish I've seen in quite some time on FR -
What you have no answer to is reality -
In your view, by the scenario you have described- what should the US do now?
