“What a waste...can’t people see through these corrupt Sunni/Shia politicians....”
No kidding? Sunnies are bribed by the US government...this was the hidden face of the “surge”.
I will agree with that...
The Sunnis in Iraq had a few choices of either submitting to their foreign Al-Q types or joining us (arms, training, funding) and beating back AL-Q in Iraq and re-gaining control of their towns and cities...
What the hell were we thinking...they are not our brothers in arms and they care nothing for Western democracy...
Exactly - the hidden face of the surge...the consequence of that was when the Shia moved in during the Sunni exodus and strengthened their position in Sadr city and unleashed a month worth of mortar and rocket attacks...
