The Next Saddam? 

From Debka:
"Bush administration secretly designates Sunni former major general Abdullah Shehwani Iraq’s next strongman supported by newly-appointed mixed Sunni-Kurdish-Shiite military command"

No idea if this is true or not, but Debka's sources are pretty accurate. I don't think the Shiite majority will be too thrilled with a Sunni strongman. Saddam Hussein was a Sunni strongman, who was veryviscouss to the Shiites when he was in power. The U.S. invasion was supposed to finally give the Shiites a voice. Now the only voice we may here is from Muqtada al-Sadr. Is this a sign we plan to give power to a strongman so we can get out and save face?
