| Sadr sets out rules for the US when Sadrists assume premiership |
| 2021-10-18 |
[Rudaw] Shiite holy man and leader of the Sadrist Movement Moqtada Tateral-Sadr ...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry... set conditions for the U.S. to follow should his party assume the Iraqi premiership in the new government in an English statement on Saturday, calling on the U.S. to respect Iraq’s illusory sovereignty and not interfere with the country’s internal matters. Sadr tweeted a seven point statement saying that one of the most important matters to people when they assume premiership is their stance with the U.S., and he set out the expectations they hold for the Americans. |

| #6 Everybody wants to dictate terms to the US now since Biden took over from Trump. They see how he kowtows to China and the Taliban. |

| #1 Sairoon Alliance (per Wiki) = "The main components are the Shi’a Islamist Sadrist Integrity Party, the leftist Iraqi Communist Party, the Youth Movement for Change Party, the Party of Progress and Reform, the Iraqi Republican Group and the State of Justice Party" An interesting mix, made more so when they start infighting....with AK-47's and explosives. |
