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.

I have a degree in the field.

That said, the entire Shia political leadership in Iraq is playing us for fools. Look who's in power: al-Dawa, SCIRI, Sadrists, Chalabi. These are the people that our troops our fighting and dying for? Iran is just laughing and laughing at our stupidity - we must the first country on Earth to think that the friend of our enemy can be our friend, too. Bush's misguided messianism about the power of democracy flies in the face of everything Reagan and Bush I did to contain Iran.

Anyways, good night. I hope the situation isn't as dire as I'm afraid it is. We'll see.
