Let's keep Iranian Shia and Al-Quaeda two separates, both of which do their business in Iraq. Thinking that all hostile groups in Iraq are cooperating just because they all fight against the US and the Iraqui state, is misleading. The timing of heavy fighting having broken out in Basra, the Mahdi army being involved, is far more insteresting. It was said the Iraqi security forces choosed time and place, but I don't buy it. I assume they had to choose like they did because circumstances forced them to.

As far as i can tell from those links (I skipped thinkprogress and salon) he made that mistake once in Jordan. The way you put it he has made that mistake repeatedly.

Can't resist taking a personal jab, eh? My convictions are just as weak as your counter-arguments...

Your quick capitulation shows no evidence of it...

Nope. Thinking about Rhode Island now... I've never lived on the East Coast and RI seems as good a place as any... Good job prospects for professional programmers in the BosWash corridor...

I'll let you know if and when, and maybe you can help me find a temporary apartment...

Well you are of course quite welcome to my little state but be warned: Taxes are insane here and getting worse.

Spent a long weekend in Providence last year.

I don't remember much of it, but I'm sure it was a lovely place

Yeah Providence does look a lot better than it did 20 years ago that's for sure, but the main architect of that renaissance just got out of jail on a 5 year racketeering conspiracy rap and his replacement is the son of a big mob lawyer so I don't know if it will last.
