You hit on a definite MAJOR news item here, and I think I don't go too far when I say it MAY/MAY be the turning point we've all been looking for.
I've claimed since this whole thang started that the road to victory passes through Tehran. Iranian meddling has been as bad as Democratic defeatism, and has come closest to beating us.
But if their muscle, their surrogate, has lost the support of the majority of Shia...baby, this could be IT.
With aQ all but defeated and currently being routed everywhere in the country, the former regime guys negotiating on how to get involved into the political process again, and now even the Iranian-controlled pieces being checked...
And you're right about getting JAM NOW. We let 'em off the hook twice before, and it is now not even debatable that, with hindsight, we can see that it was a mistake, BOTH TIMES.
We better not miss THIS chance, because one thing is known: they'll be back, and no more helpful than they were the previous times. And another in unknown: if we'll get another chance to justifiably crush 'em in the future.
