kaks vastandlikku tsitaati al-sadrist

Time: Sadr is, quite simply, the most powerful political player in the country, and any government without some meaningful inclusion of his following is unlikely to succeed in consolidating authority on a national scale.
McCain: It’s a pleasant turn of events. We’ve been pressing Maliki for action, and he persevered through some setbacks to success. Basra now is under Maliki’s control, and it has united the central government. Sadr is marginalized. Overall, I’m rather pleased.

Kui Time'il on õigus (mida ma usun) ja McCain räägib tõsiselt, siis temast võimaliku presidendina Iraagi konflikti lahendajat ei saa.
