If it is in a web, well then it is a web for two spiders. Maliki's top supporter is Moqtar Al Sadr. Sadr's top supported is Iran. Our soldiers are dying for Iran, essentially, have been ever since the election. This war no longer makes any logical sense.

Insane snippet:
"As for Iran, many of the key figures in Iraq's now-dominant Shiite hierarchy spent years in exile there during Saddam's rule. One Shiite militia was trained by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Iran is known to fund that militia and the one loyal to al-Sadr. Both are believed deeply involved in the sectarian killing that is tipping Iraq toward all-out civil war."

Double insane snippet:
"Al-Maliki, who relies on al-Sadr for political support, has been slow to act, saying it may not be until next year before militias are disarmed. Al-Sadr's support was instrumental in putting al-Maliki in power.
Because of al-Sadr, "Al-Maliki was able to become prime minister despite the fact that other political parties had gained more seats in parliament," says Vali Nasr, author of The Shia Revival. "He is al-Sadr's prime minister."
