re: looks like I was right.

You are always right, until you change your mind.

A strong candidate to replace Allawi is Dr. Ibrahim Jaafari, a Shiite who is virtually unknown in the United States but ranks as one of the most popular figures in Iraq. Head of the Dawa Party, Iraq's oldest Shiite party, he was among the first exiled leaders to return to Iraq after the 2003 invasion and has since reached out to Sunnis and other minorities.

Jaafari is backed by Iraq's most popular leader, the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. On the downside, as far as the White House is concerned, he spent part of his exile years in Iran and is said by detractors to retain shadowy ties to that country.

Were Jaafari to become prime minister, some fear Iraq could tilt toward Iran at a time when U.S.-Iranian relations are even worse than usual because of Iran's purported development of nuclear weapons.

It's funny how selective you are in your confidence.
