am I predicitng this stuff or what?
Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) has just demanded an autonomous region in the south of Iraq. The Kurds are already expecting their own autonomous region...
Let the splintering begin...
Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, the brother of slain Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim, is the curent and current leader SCIRI. See more in the previous posting. He made this announcement after meeting with grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the foremost spiritual leader of the Shias in Iraq.
A spokesman for PM Al Jafari, leader of Dawa, said this is unacceptable.
Good thing george is vacation during all this and the Gaza withdrawal. I'd hate to ask Mr. Happy-Go-Blindly to inconvenience himself.
