Good to see.

We're making him an offer he can't refuse. Either stay and be killed or captured, thus solving a problem for old man Sistani OR flee to Iran to become yet another marginal exile, leaving the lion's share of influence in Shi'a Land to, you guessed it, old man Sistani.

Guess who we have a secret agreement with?

You guessed it. Old Man Sistani.

Guess whose stooges and toadies are going to win the upcoming "Mosque Election" in the fall?

If I said, "Old Man Sistani", you'd have reason to kill me, but I'm a nice guy, so I won't say, "Old Man Sistani"...

BTW, did I mention that Sistani is getting on in years?

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Chris - what I infer from your post is that we have promised OMS power if he plays along, the elections will go his way, knowing that he will kick relatively soon and by then the Iraqi infrastructure will be capable of supporting a real govt?

How are you Chris. Good to hear from you again.

Might as well hear it from a stranger. Take it or leave it, but the uh "be seeing you" bit is a tad, er..gay. At the very least, its juvenile.
