#1 Meanwhile Iran's Ayatoilets are licking their chops, waiting for Uncle Sam to leave the Iraq prize to them. And why not? The US-Shiite Iraq alliance has put Bush into a rhetorical prison. Up to 20,000 Iranian koranimals visit Iraq daily. Many of these pigs either finance or arm or join Iraq's Shiite militias. Bush loves Iraq Shiites; Iraq Shiites love Iran; Iran hates the US; Bush cannot do anything that might make Iraq Shiites hate him. Ergo: Mullah genocide preparation continues without any prospect of external containment.

#2 CaziFarkus, try rewriting your first sentence as follows:

Meanwhile Iran's Ayatoilets are licking their chops, waiting for Uncle Sam to leave the Iraq prize to them... before their own people revolt.

And remember, after the December election the Iraqi government can choose to close their border to Iranian pilgrims, alleviating the problem somewhat, and closer inspect those they do allow in. My understanding is that the Iraqi Shiites hold a grudge against Iran for the million young men killed in the Iran-Iraq war. I just don't see the Iraqi Arab Shiite politicians choosing to unite with, and submit themselves to, their non-Arab co-religionists -- Arabs of all stripes still hold themselves superior to any and all non-Arabs, no matter how much older the Persian civilization may be.
