#2 Way too predictable. Every time the heat gets turned up Tater decides to play nice. He knows full well the new strategy will not tolerate his bs. So he'll attempt to play us for fools... again. Hopefully this time we don't engage him in a game of tiddlywinks. Hopefully this time the JDAM targeting system is set to "ugly". That should find him without a problem.

#4 Where can I find a good summary of the major players in the Shiite camp, and what sorts of relationships we're cultivating with them? I'd guess that our best approach to disassembling Saudi-controlled Arabia uses Shiite proxies, who for political reasons won't be friendly but also won't be terribly unfriendly.

#5 James, have you looked through the information in Thugburg as a first step? Page 1 in the far right column above the Sinktrap link. Beyond that I'd suggest some of the bloggers coming out of Iraq, and the blogs of Roggio and Yon and Totten, who've gone over there to report. At least some of them can be clicked through from Fred's Links list, below the sinktrap.
