Talk about the worst of all possible worlds!
Thanks to the Neocons! Iraq is in a Civil War...not merely on the verge of Civil War. The occupation army is merely ONE MORE PARTY to the Civil War. It's Shia vs. Sunni vs. The Americans.
A multi-party Civil War is not unusual often there are multiple interest groups within a State of Anarchy. But they often form alliances of convenience as time passes.
The Americans and the west were the natural allies of the Sunni...since the British estabilished Iraq a hundred years ago. But now the Americans have broken with the Sunni faction and is supporting the Shias, who are the soul mates of the Iranians, who the Americans despise!
Planning! Total lack of planning...and probably even serious thinking on the part of the Moron President and his masters.
Bottom Line: Never vote for a stupid person...even if you would like to "have a beer" with him!!
Postscript: And this MURDER/RAPE CASE... Well when it rains it pours!
