BAGHDAD (AP) — A wave of bombings targeting Shiites in Iraq killed 72 people on Thursday, deepening sectarian tensions that exploded just after the last American troops left the country in mid-December.

The coordinated attacks targeting Shiites bore the hallmarks of Sunni insurgents linked to al-Qaida, although there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Iraqi leaders feared a resurgence of Sunni and Shiite militants and an increase in violence following the departure of U.S. troops, a fear that is coming to be realized.

A blind man in a dark room saw this coming.

Killing for Allah is just what Muslims do for entertainment. It will never end.

Muzzie killing muzzie - I don’t see the downside.

Just one more in a long line of Obama failures.

Although I think this is what he and Maliki planned during one of their discussions. Release of Gitmo prisoners, pulling out troops. This is going to be a year of Obama doing his greatest damage, unless they get smart and impeach the kenyan muslim.

They were better off under Saddam. Koranimals need iron-fisted dictators to prevent them from reverting to the murderous, perverted doctrine of their moon-god cult.

Sectarian - old media speak used to divert blame from Obama.

I thought that everything was going to be gumdrops and violets once Obama was elected. The whole world would bask in the radiance of his greatness. Did these guys not get that e-mail?

We should supply guns, ammo, and explosives to both sides.

I agree. The Shiites are supported by Iran. The Sunnis are supported by the Baath Party and Syria(?). Break out the popcorn.

From the history learning site-
"In 1938, Hitler ordered his generals to start to make plans for the invasion of Czechoslovakia. He also ordered Henlein and his followers to start to create trouble in the Sudetenland, therefore proving to the outside world that the Czech government was incapable of maintaining order in its own state. Hitler planned to use this chaos to put his army into the Sudetenland to restore law and order."

The modern version could read:
In 2012, Ahmadinejad ordered his generals to start to make plans for the invasion of Iraq. He also ordered Mutaqa Sadyr and his followers to start to create trouble in Iraq , therefore proving to the outside world that the Iraqi government was incapable of maintaining order in its own state. Ahmadinejad planned to use this chaos to put his army into Iraq to restore law and order.

Let's face it, we are never going to have boots on the ground in Iraq again. There will be no one to stop Iran.-Tom
