I agree that he may be an Iranian ally. I'm not so sure your 'after the US leave' assessment is dead on. Any government installed by the US will be destroyed as soon as we leave, if it's radical subjects are left armed to the teeth. At least that's my take.

Thanks for the comments.

After re-reading my post I guess it sounded like "cut-n-run". I meant leave after the govt' is established and can defend themselves.
