This little item is VITAL. <<Six months after Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki took office, with vital support from Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, such pledges have yet to curb activity by militias, like Sadr's Mehdi Army, which Khalilzad singled out as needing to be "brought under control." >> news.yahoo.com The U.S. will be forced into a run for it retreat if they don't crush Sadr, i will guarantee U.S. has Muqtada al Sadr and the Mahdi Army as listed as their Number One enemy, that if they will actually virtually kill them all, the Mahdi, if they must--that is how evil this all is, was and will be. Also, Juan Cole need get in his head, Ahmadinedad is a Mahdi, the SCIRI, and Hakim and all the Shi'ite crowd are NOT Mahdi. So when Juan Cole says Muqtada al Sadr has no connection with Iran because he is an Iraqi Nationalist, is plain wrong. His being an Iraqi Nationalist is NOT adverse to Ahmadinedad. Also the Mahdi are FAR FAR more pro Hezbollah and concerned about Palestine, then the SCIRI. Iran tension is an internal one, the moderate, more U.S. friendly rather ally with the Badr and the SCIRI, but Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Revolution loyalist would definitely favor Muqtada al Sadr. All revolves about this, why? Detente and passivication of Iraq by Iran, could only be done via a REGIME CHANGE and the kicking out of Ahmadinejad and all the Revolutionary guard. Now i do believe Juan Cole would favor this as i think he is inherently opposed to Muqtada al Sadr---he is far too radical for Juan Cole. U.S. will work relentlessly for Regime Change, and the Baker/CFR sponsored trip of having ex-President Khatami come to the U.S. is part of the CFR's drive to overthrow Ahmadinejad and Khamanei. Baker/Kissinger/Clinton gang don''t want to attack Iran but they DO! want to overthrow the Iranian government. Within Iraq the real enemy is Muqtada al Sadr, here is a man that by one spoken command had a 200,000 person demonstration for Hezbollah!!! Baker primary tough talk to Bush, is U.S. MUST talk DIRECTLY with Syria and Iran. If Bush announces their will be direct talks, Bush is at least nominally playing ball. i would forsee the mere announcement of direct talks will cause a wild, runaway train bull rally. This market i feel is just looking for an excuse the GO INSANE, absolutely insane. I mean MASSIVE BUBBLE insane-- a deja vu, a replay of madness.No one learned a thing from last bubble--nothing. Announcement of direct talks with Iran and Syria(or just with iran) i think would be the matcjh to like the mountain of stored up energy to go INSANE--this market has been moving up in a cautious , but relentless fashion, it just needs an excuse to go crazy. So will the talks come to pass???? i have no idea.But much rides on what does happen, imo. i close by saying this writer, Max90, is unabashedly PRO-HEZBOLLAH. As what i write above may not make clear that i am strongly Pro-Hezbollah.Max

*Whew read this---read between the LINES what this means--i see it as clear---one can't rationalize this and say, "But he surely does not mean nuclear weapons!!" General Pace is saying anything GOES, anything--this the guy that infuriate Cheney and Bush by saying there is no nuclear option period! Well this does not any lnger suggest that. General Pace is a very powerful person in the Pentagon. <<U.S. would win new war but it would be dirtier: Pace Tue Oct 24, 5:35 PM ET The United States has the capacity to defeat any enemy with overwhelming power, despite the Iraq war, but a new conflict would involve more brute force and civilian casualties, the top U.S. general said on Tuesday. Asked about any potential threat from North Korea, Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he did not know the intent of the Pyongyang leadership but the U.S. military could cope with any potential enemy. "It is true that our units that are here at home are not fully equipped, as they would be if there wasn't a war going on," Pace told reporters at the Pentagon. !!"But none of our potential enemies should miscalculate the capacity of this nation to generate overwhelming combat power, tomorrow, to defend our national interests."*!! ( edit: there is no other interpretation possible, General Pace has REMOVED his disaproval of the Nuclear Option--max) Pace said the conflicts in both Iraq and Afghanistan meant some precision weapons and intelligence systems were already in use and could not be immediately be deployed elsewhere. "It would be more brute force, wherever we might have to go next, than it would be if we weren't already involved in the war we have going on in Iraq or Afghanistan,"* Pace said. "You would end up not having all of the precision weapons that you might otherwise have going into a second theater, wherever it might happen to be, and therefore you would end up using more dumb bombs, so to speak, more brute force, than you would otherwise," he said. "So you end up with more collateral damage. You end up more like a World War Two, Korean War campaign than you would sitting at home waiting with the war not going on." But he said that would not affect the capacity of the U.S. military to defeat any enemy. "It would not be as clean as we would like it to be. But it would certainly be sure. And the outcome would not be in doubt," he said(edit: "and the outcome would NOT be in doubt"---only one weapon can allow that statement, only one--Nuclear Weapons--Max) he said. The United States has said it wants to use diplomacy to resolve its standoff with North Korea, which escalated when the secretive Communist state conducted a first nuclear test on October 9, but will take no option off the table.>>
