bennett's radio show this morning said Shiites are fighting Shiites in baghdad. leaders in Iraq got to get serious or we should seriously think about getting out. these people who write articles about not enough troops are hard to understand.. Iraq troops are large enough to do this job , why should we be there except to guide them. Somebody got to take out Iran influence.

God help them if the Shiites were free to do to the Sunnis what Saddam did to the Shiites.

The only thing that stops it is that we are still there. It won't be a Civil War. Too one-sided. It will be genocide.

20/20 hindsight now shows us that the southern Shiites were always going to wipe out the Sunnis if they had a chance. Especially with the Shiite Iranians there to help them. I don't see how they can get out of a partition, with the Sunnis settling for what they can get short of all getting killed.
