It seems that the proposed love fest between and Sadr and the Sunnis is coming to fruition. They put us in the middle and we have to fight our way out if they are successful.
By what logic do you arrive at that negative view....see this discussion:
I saw that response. A fair assessment would be, that the Iranian Shiites and Iraqi Sunni forces will join up against us. This is the same thing that happened during the overthrow of the Shah. Once the Shah was out of the picture there was a great deal of in-fighting and executions. Same fundamentalist mentality today as it was then that the US is the Great Satan.
It's about time we called their hand and got on with the business of taking out their nuclear capability and their government. Enough playing around with these murderous fanatics!
