SCIRI

Just a quick note. If you told the denizens of wingnuttia in early 2003 that the Iraq War had gone so badly that George W. Bush would have to meet with Abdul-Aziz Al-Hakim in The White House, their collective heads would've popped like the lancing of a massive boil. We're talking beyond unthinkable.

And who is this stately Shiite Holy Man?

He's the leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. He's been waiting in Iran (Axis of Evil, et. al.) for years to return home to claim the Shiite's right to power. Here's a little tidbit as well: the holiest sites for the Shia sect of Islam reside in Iraq, not Iran.

Islamic Revolution. Yes, the kind that overthrew the Shah of Iran. Hostages. 1979. Ayatollahs. 444 days.

Islamic Revolution and George W. Bush. Come to think of it, I didn't see that one coming myself.
