Picture of the Day - 2






So, I guess the question is, if the Bush administration steps back from supporting Maliki, what's his next move? Does he turn to Iran to try and survive?

  • Bush may have given up on Maliki. But maybe Maliki has given up on Bush. He seems very interested in talking to Iran and Syria.

  • Yeah. The thing that he must regret is that the US managed to turn the Mahdi against him (or him against the Mahdi.)

    I wonder if Iran could bring the Mahdi back into the fold?

    And, I wonder about Syria, you know? Sunni nation, has supported the Sunni fighters, but a long relationship dealing with Iran and the Hezbullah militia.

    I just don't know. The cards have been thrown up in the air, I think we're going to have to see some clues before we know what it's going to look like.
