Where is SCIRI in all this? Surely they can’t be sitting passively by as SADR cozies with the Iranians, picks off the Shia minor leaguers like Al Fadhil, and threatens to unravel SCIRI positions built up over the last 4 years? Where is the previously favored Iranian proxy, the Badr army? Aren’t Sistani and his base pretty much in a zero sum game with Sadr, when it comes to who has the favor of the Iranians? Given Iraqi politics are pretty much opaque to us outsiders, would surely appreciate hearing from some Iraqi observers on matters such as these.
