Bombings kill 31 as Iraq grapples with political crisis

Please remember that Mr. al-Sadr is Mr. al-Sistani's "sock puppet" and that Mr. al-Sistani is firmly in the Iranian camp (partly because of necessity since the US wouldn't give him and his followers any assistance when they were opposing Saddam Hussein).

So, "The Plan" is probably, let Daesh topple the existing Iraqi government (and government structure) and then erect a "domestic" government (many Iraqis still see the current government as a "US imposed" government NOT a "domestic" government) that will have to "deal with the current emergency situation" by "temporarily suspending" some of the "liberal" portions of the Iraqi constitution while a "new constitution designed by Iraqi, in accordance with Iraqi traditions and culture can be written" - and, of course, this will ensure that there will be a government of Iraqis (read as "ALL Iraqis"), by Iraqis (read as "SOME Iraqis") and for Iraqis (read as "THE RELIGIOUSLY CORRECT Iraqis").

Do NOT expect the final stages to appear until AFTER the first half of November 2016. (Details and cosmetics will depend on who wins the election, but rumors have it that the staff working on the details and cosmetics to be implemented if Ms. Clinton is elected is VERY large while the "Trump Victory" staff consists of two guys who meed in a Baghdad coffee shop on alternate Wednesdays.
