He's the man in Iraq, no doubt. But, IMO, it's kind of a gimme. It's not hard to look smart when you're going up against Bush, Rummy, Wolfowitz, Feith, etc. After all, Gen. Franks called Feith the "dumbest fucking man on the planet."

Sistani's got the best hand at the poker table, and he knows it. He doesn't really have to do much. His biggest problem, though, is that we've really got ourselves into a position where we can't (or don't want to) tolerate Iran's current government.

I was sorta taken aback when I heard that Sistani wasn't even an Iraqi citizen. He's Iranian. Is he independent? Or will he side with Iran when/if the Neocons pull something on Iran. If Israel bombs Iran as a preamble to a US/Iran war, what is Sistani going to do?

What, me worry?
