It looks like the only way their will be any kind of headway in Iraq is for the United States to take on these Iranian thugs crossing and shelling across the border.
When is Washington going to get the guts to hold the Syrians and Iranians for the death of our soldiers?
It’s time to quite pussy footing around with the Middle East bullies.
Just the opinion of a red state wannabe.

Who could have imagined that Iraq would be in such crisis more than four years after Saddam Hussein? Each month 2,000 to 3,000 Iraqi civilians are killed by terrorists and sectarian death squads. Electricity and water are available, at best, for only five to six hours a day. Baghdad, once evidence of Iraq's cultural, ethnic and religious diversity, is now a city of armed sectarian enclaves -- much like Beirut of the 1980s. Allawi may have been a better PM than Jafaari or Maliki, but he reads like someone who is bitter about not being in charge anymore. We need a secular Shia in charge, but Allawi is a former Baathist and there is realistically few chances for him to return to the top. His talking points are identical to the MSM crap. Baghdad was once a blossoming heaven of diversity? Oh please...

He did not mention the most important cause for the violence: AL Qaeda.
Also this article by Allawi has only one goal: Make me Prime Minister.

Even though I support Allawi, I have problems accepting this:
- We need a regional diplomatic strategy that increasingly invests the United Nations and the Arab world in Iraqi security and reconstruction.
The Arab world's main contribution so far is large numbers of suicide bombers to Iraq. Why would anyone want to deal with such criminals? As for the UN, it has a shady past in Iraq and its agenda is clear for everyone. The UN office in Baghdad was bombed exactly three years ago and it was said at the time that this was as a result of UN officials insisting on relying on local security which is associated with the 'insurgency'

For all his flaws, Allawi is the best PM candidate on the horizon.
