The Washington Post, reporting figures not publicly released by the institute, said the survey also found that the most popular politician in Iraq was Abdel Aziz Hakim, leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq.

The Bush/Iraq saga increasingly sounds like the plot for a Tom Clancy novel, except that most Presidents in Clancy novels have some brains.

In this case, the most apt comparison is Bush/Fowler (Sum of All Fears), with Bush being real life's inept "Fowler", a fictional president who ironically pushes the world to the brink of destruction because he listend to bad advisors (Cheney/Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld et al).

Skip to the end: Someone had to start speaking the truth and stop the madness. Fowler and bad advisors were rapidly removed from government.

But the current situation draws another parallel to a different Clancy novel. If wondering what I am talking about, think "Executive Orders".

Hint: Abdel Aziz Hakim is openly friendly with Iran.
