#1 Tater is such an utter fool that the US probably invests a lot of money in keeping him alive. He is a black hole for Iranian money, and though they probably have handlers pulling his strings, he is such a defective unit that they have to micromanage him to keep him from fouling up even simple directions.

#4 The Kurds don't like him and considering how poorly his "Maahdi Army" did against troops, his boys will be dead quickly if they try anything. His boys were effective as revenge terrorists against lightly armed Sunni civilians, but not much else.

#5 And what does the IMMAM ARMY say???

versus

* TEHRAN TIMES > {Egyptian Shia Scholar]"EGYPT MUST BOLSTER TIES WID IRAN TO REGAIN ITS PAST GLORY", premising that Any + All Shia Muslims have a stake in the success of Egypt's + Region's mass protests = "pro-Democracy" movements + uprisings.

* CNN + FOX NEWS SUNDAY ROUNDTABLE = mostly agree that the LIBYUH CRISIS is diverting Amer mianstream attention from the LARGER, HIDDEN = BACKGROUND COMPETITION + POWER STRUGGLE FOR REGIONAL MILPOL, ISLAMIC IDEO DOMINANCE GOING ON BETWEEN SHIA IRAN VERSUS SUNNI SAUDI ARABIA, as symbolized by the on-going Bahrain + Yemeni + Oman Crises.

Once again, its no longer USA-vs-Rising-China, but now USA-VS-RISING-CHINA-VS-NUCLEAR?-ISLAM.

THE OWG CALIPHATE IS PROTO = WORK-IN-PROGRESS , + GOING NUKULAAR.

#6 The Mahdi Army turned out to be our greatest ally in Iraq. It was their mass killing and ethnic cleansing of the Sunnis that turned the Sunnis around. The mistake was not killing off the Mahdi army to the last after the the Sunnis turned. In a few years Iraq will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Iran.
