Ahhh, this is fun. Whackjob member of Congress Michelle Bachmann, it turns out, has discovered that there's already a plan in place to divide Iraq. Iran will get half the country. And they'll set that part up as a "terrorist safe haven zone."

Says Bachmann: "And half of Iraq, the western, northern portion of Iraq, is going to be called…. the Iraq State of Islam, something like that. And I’m sorry, I don’t have the official name, but it’s meant to be the training ground for the terrorists. There’s already an agreement made."

I can't wait to hear Juan Cole's reaction to Bachmann's scoop.

Shi'a Iran is going to run Sunni western Iraq as a terrorist safe haven. And the new terror country's official name will be the Iraq State of Islam.

Aren't the Shi'a Arabs in southern Iraq going to be a little bummed?
