In the AP today there was a story about several rocket attacks on the green zone. Apparently a rebel group of Shiites have broken away from Al Sadr and refused to abide by his cease-fire. But, what interested me most was this:
"The Al-Sadr cease-fire was extended until the 15th of Shaban, a reference to the Islamic month before Ramadan, which would mean mid-August."
It made me wonder if even Al-Sadr was interfering in the nomination processes and elections of the United States. First they go quiet so we can nominate in inexperienced commander and a "stay for 100 years" guy, then in August they can start blowing things up again so that the hawk wins.
If Iraq looks like a firestorm in the fall, America won't be able to elect a candidate with no armed services or foreign policy experience and that will be a sad, sad day for all of us.
