#1 Maybe it was the Bill Murray walk-on...

#2 no its different now, Allawi signed on, as well as Sistani and Tater. Deal is done.

Which doesnt mean Tater wont violate it. But its really a different game if he does that, now that Sistanis involved. Sistani loses ALOT of face if Sadr breaks this deal.

#3 I think this maybe the real deal. If it works we win. Disarm the grand mardi army, git rid of the iranians and we leave too.

#4 If Tater and the Tots looted the mosque, even Sistani cannot ignore that. If Sistani lets it go, then all this holy mosqueâ¢ Sh*t is just that, and Sistani's word is worthless, even to Joe Average Sit'ite. If Iraq is going to grow and evolve, it will have to be done through these convoluted events. Ima not optomistic, but I hope for the better.

#5 I hate to be a critic, but anyone ever notice how much these triple holy places look like grand Florida hotels of the 1920s? Tacky is Tacky.

#7 What about that compensation stuff?

One of the Sistani talking points was the somebody get compensation from somebody for damage.

Can't Sadr back out of the deal if he says, "well, the Americans aren't honoring the agreement because...."

#8 Why do I get the feeling that this agreement isn't going to do a thing to help the Govt. of Iraq gain any credibility with the Iraqis? I hope Sistani isn't a Khomeni wolf in sheep's clothing.

#9 Expect Sadr to back out of the deal.
He has broken every one so far.
I expect Sadr to be taken out with a 7.62X54R just to make it look like a "muslim" did it. We got to wack this dirt ball. No Sadr, no more crap from the fool.
