Shiite lawmakers said Iraq's most revered Shiite cleric withheld support Saturday for a U.S.-backed plan to build a coalition across sectarian lines.


Sistani will never do anything that will undermine Sadr's influence. He also wants American troops out of Iraq, but he want to do that in peaceful way.

It is important that Shiite show solidarity and unity among themselves. Otherwise Sunnis will become bold and would ask for more concessions.
