Er I regret that I was unable to make this post as a reply to exisiting Iraq threads in the Politics, Religion, Social Issues (http://forums.macrumors.com/forumdisplay.php?f=47) being as I am a newbie here I can't post there. So I must strike out on my own with this new thread and hope people don't think that it is because I don't want to discuss with them.
Well the U.S. Iraq Study Group Report is WRONG about recommending that the U.S. meet with Moqtada al-Sadr.

Why is the I.S.G.R. wrong?
Recall the recent Hadley memo, leaked to the New York Times.
BBC: US memo raises Iraq leader doubts (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6157031.stm)

Stephen Hadley, close to Condi, and maybe acting here as an unofficial voice for Condi to float new ideas? Certainly, the two of them with Bolton made a good team for the President, for America and for the free world. So why on earth did the Congress force Bolton to resign?

... but because Maliki won't break with Moqtada al-Sadr ...

... that makes Maliki THE WRONG GUY for Iraq but try telling the President that.

President Bush needs another person in Iraqi politics to back as the new "right guy for Iraq".
So how about promoting the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh as an obvious stand-in replacement for Maliki? Saleh does seem to be clearer about the difference between moderates and extremists. Not only that but he speaks English so we can figure out where he is coming from more easily.
So let's support Saleh to oust Maliki a.s.a.p.

We need to deal with the sectarian problem at source.
