'AL Qaeda's worn out their welcome," Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno told The Post.
Probably the tallest, and just maybe the toughest, man in Iraq, the Rockaway native also has a vigorous intellect at odds with the stereotype of generals.
Even though he looks like he could've had a parallel career in the World Wrestling Federation.
In a forthright interview with The Post yesterday, the commanding general of the Multinational Corps-Iraq - the man who leads the day-to-day fight in support of Gen. David Petraeus - noted that, while foreign terrorists remain a threat, al Qaeda's been wounded so deeply by the Sunni Arab shift against them that he now feels other issues take priority.
"First, I worry about Shia extremism and Iranian interference, which is increasing. In the long term, Iraqis won't allow Iranians to take over their country - but, in the short term, I'm worried about Basra and the Port of Um Qasr."
Odierno, whose limbs stretched out from a big, black-leather chair, folded his hands. "Second, I'm worried about the development of the government of Iraq. They have to solve their own problems - we can't solve them."
The hands broke apart and one rose slightly, as if in warning. "The Shia have not yet recognized that they've actually won. . . They need to get past that and move toward reconciliation."
The general notes that their parliamentary form of government is proving difficult for the Iraqis to operate, since it requires levels of cooperation not necessarily inherent in the culture. Blunt and brutally honest, he refuses to sugarcoat the problems he sees.

Liberal template.
Good words. I'd add that more people than just Iraqis are watching what we do and don't do in Iraq.
Might have been thinking of the slug clinton had in charge in serbia. The numb nut who ran for pres in the demorat primary. He is so insignifigant, ignorant and stupid in my mind that I can't remember his insignifigant name.
Was it Wesley Clark?
OK, so how tall is he? Who writes “Probably the tallest, and just maybe the toughest, man in Iraq” without giving a figure. Its like saying “Bill Gates is the richest man in the US” without saying how many billions he has. Of course, that goes along well with the idiocy of the “the Rockaway native also has a vigorous intellect at odds with the stereotype of generals” statement. Clearly, this writer isn’t making the rocket scientists at NASA quake in fear for their jobs.

He played like 6’11” back when he had his natural .
Yes, it would be wesley clark just about as nutty and with about the same IQ as the candy bar he was named after.
Whoa! Wow.
After noting where that pic came from, I hope the General spit in his eye!
Not much gets by you, brit! LOL!!!!
Whatdayathink the lil’ guy’s referring to?!
Oh great grapenuts. That witch will try anything, won’t she?
I am not surprised about the hands and fingers. They don’t want a repeat of that young man who made the sign for... oh what was it again... lying, speaking under duress... I can see the picture in my head but the connections are making it to my fingers. :-)
I know which picture you’re referring to. I always wondered if he got in trouble.
Look up.
Stan: This one time, like eight months ago, I saw two guys kissing in a park. And that was the gayest thing I’d ever seen until I saw that magazine cover.
