Its not that easy, the Sunnis are far better fighters then the Shia militas, as we saw today when insurgents killed over a dozen members of the Madhi Army without suffering one death.

If a civil war broke out, the Shia and Kurds wouldn't just roll over them. It would be a extremely bloody back and forth that would last for years.

LOL. On what basis can you make such an assessment? If the Shia/Kurds outnumber the Sunnis four to one and control the levers of government, it won't matter anyway. AQ would love a civil war, which is why it won't happen.

You make these statements with such certainty. Are you a military analyst with years of experience in the region including boots on the ground knowledge or did you stay at a Holiday Inn?
