See what happens when you actually talk...

to the other side. The LA Times reports that US officials are surprised that al Sadr is supporting the Iraqi government's US-backed security plan. Well, why wouldn't he? The US hung his Sunni oppressor and put his tribe in power. What's not to like? Who wouldn't want the IEDs and carnage to end? Especially someone who has his hands on the tap of $500 billion in future oil revenues.

Nope. Bushco refuses to talk to anyone. That's because there will be no resolution to the conflict in Iraq so long as Cheney's plans to subdivide the oil reserves among the Seven Sisters (or is it now 5?) remains in place. Calling Al Gore. Al Gore, please come to the party...
