#1 Yeah, Iran isn't supporting Sadr anymore - now that it's obvious he's not only pissed off a lot of Iraqis, he's going to LOSE big-time.

Ignore the man behind the curtain....

The reporter should have asked the following of Khatami:

"Does Iran supports Hizbullah? If so does the fact that there are hizbullah fighters in Najaf fighting for as-Sadr mean Iran is now at war with the US in Iraq?"

#6 that his government is not supporting the uprising by Iraqi cleric

A real journalist would have asked Khatami whether he meant that only the portion of the governement under his control was not supporting Sadr.

#7 Yep, wrong guy to ask. He doesn't have any power and wouldn't be included in the Mad Mullah Planning sessions, methinks.
