Whoever wrote this doesn't seem to know what he is talking about.

The Sunnis would fight for decades against the Shia and Kurds for oil in Southern and Nortern Iraq if the country was broken up. The entire Middle of Iraq would be an endless war zone.

"The entire Middle of Iraq would be an endless war zone"


Some people actually want that, that way they have something to oppose. Others want it so that they can keep the worlds eyes on things other than the rulers and adnimistrators of Islam.

Breaking up Iraq is silly talk. Three semi autonimous regions within a state, forming a whole state is far more plausible. 50 states make up this nation, there is no reason why three "states" cannot make up the State of Iraq.
Call them regions, call them counties, call them parishes, call them whatever you like. Iraq will remain whole, Iraq will remain free, and Iraq will move forward on a path of progress according to the will of its people as a whole.

The constitution passage is a clear example that this part of the overall plan is succeeding. This writing is just bluster trying to hold onto the failed idea that it was somehow wrong to oust Saddam.

And even if not, we would ruin America's credibility, as we promised virtually every nation in the region that we would seek to maintain the territorial integrity of Iraq. This is a deeply stupid idea, IMHO.

Breaking up Iraq would be the absolute WORST thing to do.

The only people that would gain from that are the Iranians and the Syrians. Sure as hell WE wouldn't gain from it.
