There are a lot of things that one would like to say about this war that need to be kept to oneself. The frustration of the press at the rampant killing of innocent Shiites and Kurds in Iraq is mind numbing.

Imagine the public reaction if 25 police officers were lined up and killed outside of their precinct in NYC by a group of terrorists. This country would go absolutely fucking beserk. I have no idea why we cannot focus on the reality of the Sunni terrorists that keep blowing up everyone in their way. To blame it all on GWB is simply ridiculous. Sunni Arabs don't execute Shiite police to protest GWB. They do it to protest their lack of power in post war Iraq.

1200 Shiites have been killed since April 28. I would estimate at least 10,000 Shiites have been injured. I am beginning to see some shift in the press releases that are focusing on the balance of power between the 2 groups rather than blaming GWB for the Sunni massacres.
