A quick note on our War in Iraq and why it cannot be won and why now after five (5) years and over 4,000 dead, we are no closer to a resolution there.
Today’s news carried stories of heavy fighting between the IRAQI SECURITY FORCES and the MAHDI ARMY of Moqtada al-Sadr.
Just so we are perfectly clear, both sides are IRAQI and both sides are mainly SHIITE.
We know that SUNNIS fight SHIITE but here we have two groups from the same religious camp BUT from different political groups.
In essence, the Iraq Security Forces are from the so-called Iraqi central government; the ruling body in Iraq. The other belongs to an anti-US cleric. They are fighting for control of territory; plain and simple.
If Shiites are fighting Shiites, how can we expect Sunnis and Shiites to co-exist in a single country with a single central government – they can’t and that is what I have been saying from the beginning.
DIVIDE THE COUNTRY INTO THREE (3) PARTS AND SHARE THE OIL REVENUE.
So simple, even a dumb-ass like Bush should be able to understand.
