Answer this question: How does the US military fighting to install the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq help the GWT??? The rivalry between Sadr and al-Hakim indicates that Iraq's troubles are less about religion, which the government wants us to believe, and more about power and oil wealth. Some other facts that you have left out of you discussion are for instance that al-Hakim is promoting regional federations as opposed to a unified central government. This is the opposite of the Bush strategy, yet al-Hakim seems to be Bush's boy. i.e. Hakim seems to be willing to cut the deal with western oil companies, but wants the bulk of the wealth to go to the regional powers. i.e. himself, providing the US takes care of Sadr first. This is evidenced by the recently leaked revised oil law, which other Middle Eastern authors have described as promoting the break-up of Iraq. The Sunnis are never going to accept this version of the oil law and the Shia will never cave to Sunni demands as long as the US is willing to put down their insurgency. Talk all you want about how much more compassionate conservatives are towards the Iraqi people, the truth is US is taking the 80% solution for the sake of an oil deal. You can kill all the Sunnis you want, but you can't claim fair play because the Shia have no intention of playing fair. You could at least give Sunnis a fighting chance to take on the Shia face to face when they are out numbered 5 to 1-- at least then they would have been beaten fair and square and not killed by infidels. Another fact you skipped over the is the "all out civil war" and ensuing blood bath that you along with others on the right are focussing if the Dems have the "pullout they envision" is all ready happening. As a matter of fact the humanitarian crisis in Iraq is worse than Darfur. As of last June the Lancet Report had Iraqi deaths due to the war at 655,000 and the second half of 06 was twice as bad as the first half according to official numbers. Darfur is only approaching 300,000 dead, which makes Iraq twice as bad. You know this is true, but right-wingers don't want to talk about this little inconvenient truth either. If I were the Dems, which I'm not, I would say all right you win. We think this policy is bad for America, bad for the military, bad for the GWT, but you guys want paint us as cowards and unpatriotic and stupid. Fine. You can have your little surge and all the money you want, but this baby is all yours. We'll see you in 2008 “Perhaps Sadr will see the writing on the wall”

Perhaps you will see the writing on the wall some day.

Answer this question: How does the US military fighting to install the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq help
the GWT??? The rivalry between Sadr and al-Hakim indicates that Iraq’s troubles are less about religion, which the
government wants us to believe, and more about power and oil wealth.

Some other facts that you have left out of you discussion are for instance that al-Hakim is promoting regional federations as
opposed to a unified central government. This is the opposite of the Bush strategy, yet al-Hakim seems to be Bush’s boy. i.e.
Hakim seems to be willing to cut the deal with western oil companies, but wants the bulk of the wealth to go to the regional
powers. i.e. himself, providing the US takes care of Sadr first. This is evidenced by the recently leaked revised oil law, which
other Middle Eastern authors have described as promoting the break-up of Iraq.

The Sunnis are never going to accept this version of the oil law and the Shia will never cave to Sunni demands as long as the
US is willing to put down their insurgency. Talk all you want about how much more compassionate conservatives are towards
the Iraqi people, the truth is US is taking the 80% solution for the sake of an oil deal. You can kill all the Sunnis you want, but
you can’t claim fair play because the Shia have no intention of playing fair. You could at least give Sunnis a fighting chance to
take on the Shia face to face when they are out numbered 5 to 1– at least then they would have been beaten fair and square
and not killed by infidels.

Another fact you skipped over the is the “all out civil war” and ensuing blood bath that you along with others on the right are
focussing if the Dems have the “pullout they envision” is all ready happening. As a matter of fact the humanitarian crisis in Iraq is
worse than Darfur. As of last June the Lancet Report had Iraqi deaths due to the war at 655,000 and the second half of 06
was twice as bad as the first half according to official numbers. Darfur is only approaching 300,000 dead, which makes Iraq
twice as bad. You know this is true, but right-wingers don’t want to talk about this little inconvenient truth either.

Given the history between Iran and the U.S., any prudent course of action should begin with the assumption that they're lying. So when they claims that they're only interested in stablizing Iraq, containing the conflict, blah, blah, blah, we should remember that Iran interfered in Afghanistan and it continues to interfere in Iraq -- at the expense of American troops. It's obvious Iran stands more to gain from U.S. failure in Iraq than anyone else. Except the Democratic party, of course.
