Mullahs' hands in Iraq ...

Barely a week into the devastation of the Askaria shrine by no-doubt explosive experts- witness how only the dome was
blown away- we hear that Ibrahim al-Jaafari
's tenure as Iraq's first prime minister will be just as short. Of course, we hear that the Kurds and the sunnis are mostly up in arms, following an upsurge in sectarian violence in the past week. They should be. Most of those who perished sensely were sunnis. But, it will not, nor should it, escape attention that the person who will follow Jaafari, should he be sidestepped, is none other than Adel Abdel-Mehdi, the choice candidate of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), Iran's proxy organization in Iraq. Oh, what a little devious act, say bombing a holy shrine, can buy you! In this case, the you in the previous sentence is MOIS, Iran's intelligence organization. So, now hand-in-hand with their brother-in-arms, Iraq President, Jalal Talabani, the mullahs may soon get to form a hand-picked government, a government that would make them proud. Just wait and see!
