Why is this ass-clown still breathing?

#2 To me this is the big question with regard to Iran. We cannot afford for Southern Iraq to erupt if we have to bomb Iranian nuke sites. It is not clear to me what would happen but Tater is at least telling us his intentions.

#3 Thx Tater! This points up a few needed secondary Opns to run parallel with, or just prior to, a decap...

#4 A lot of nationalistic Shiites are going to get very slitty-eyed when hearing this from Tater. Fighting against the Americans may be one thing, but fighting for Iran is something else entirely.

Hopefully he has just signed his own death warrant.

#5 Sadr is aiming his sites at the Howard Dean role in the new Iraq.

#6 Once the sanctions route proves ineffective, Tater will meet his "untimely" demise.

#7 Hmmm, not often you see rats jumping *onto* a sinking ship.

#8 It will be interesting to see what the sovereign Iraqi government makes of a private citizen conducting foreign policy. Perhaps a show trial? Popcorn?

#11 Anybody hear what Sistani thinks of this? My recollection is that many Iranian Shia support his non-theocratic approach compared to that of the mullahs, and come to pay him respect.

#12 What goes around, comes around! The next administration will blame the Bush administration for al-Sadr coming to power, just as "W" did; in allowing Binny to escape the US during the Clinton administration. How ironic!

#13 al-Sadr coming to power? nice BDS on you, SMN. Sadr's a minor-league thug riding poppa's rep and obviously saving money on dental plans.

#14 22 short up an close and personal. Fry what is left of his brains. The average on the street Iraqi doesn't care much for Iran. They will not miss tater or his tots.
