Exactly, too many moving parts to manage. The fact that al Qaeda in Iraq were mostly Saudis had a lot to do with it. And that we could buy off some of the local Sunni clan leaders with guns and money. Don't get me wrong, it worked (as least temporarily). But it was effective only when the Pentagon faced reality that they were looking at a civil war.

Exactly? Yeah, exactly at odds with what every one of you is saying.
