#6 I hope this is played for all its worth IN IRAQ we need to rally up as much rage as possible against Iran, so any one cough Sadr who would like to jump when the sh*t hits the fan with Iran sometime this year they are a minority flash in the pan.

#7 Actually, this is the means by which to solve the 'Iranian' problem. A series of confrontations between Iranian and Iraqi forces which escalates and subsequently 'draws' American forces backing up the Iraqi into play. American doctrine doesn't play gradual escalation anymore. Once committed, its the application of overwhelming force.

#8 Iraqi's do not love Iranians just because they are the same sect. Enough bad blood there to go around.
