Forrest Gump – the man the Cheney wanted to be president until he ran into George W – famously said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Well, stupid has done quite a bit in the last eight years, and as post-surge Iraq begins to unravel, let’s see if we can pick up the details Forrest Bush seems to have overlooked.

This week violence flared and the death count rose in the Basra. Well, it is a war and you can’t expect there not to be violence in war – in spite of flyboy Dubya’s pronouncement of it being over lo’ those many years ago. But the war has heated up because the Muqtada al-Sadr, the Shi’a cleric and head of the Mahdi Army, called a cease fire around the same time the surge began and it’s begun to break down.

I can understand why this might be overlooked by the White House; it wouldn’t do to have the public thinking Iraqis were in control in any way, not with this new strategy making things look so nice and peaceful.

But here comes the part the dopes on Pennsylvania Avenue still haven’t figured out.

Muqtada al-Sadr is probably the most powerful man in the country, certainly more beloved than Bush marionette Maliki. However, they’re both working for the same side – Iran.

Yep, you heard it right, Iran. #1 on ol’ stumblin’ Dubya’s Axis of Evil list. What tends to be overlooked is the very simple fact that Saddam was Sunni and he gave the Shi’a majority a really bad time when he was the boss. Every since he got the boot, the Iraqi Shi’a, with the help of the largest population of Shi’a on the planet right next door in Iran, have been trying to take back their country. Maliki put out the red carpet for holocaust denying looney President of Iran Ahmadinejad a while back. A way bigger party than when Bush or Overlord Cheney comes to town. And it’s a widely known fact that Iran is sending money, giving aid and training to the Mahdi Army and every other Shi’a in Basra – who have recently turned on one another.

So, if I have this figured right; Iran, the country Bush tried to lie us into bombing a few months ago, the country McCain will nuke his first day in office, is sending money to and training the people we liberated from Sadam, as well as making kissy face with the guy the Iraqis elected to run their country, and is the biggest supporter of anti-American activity among the people we are fighting for and whom we are paying to be our allies in a fight against the people whom we are….paying…to…be…our…allies…

Oh yeah, this was a real good idea.
