yeah it's a combination actually of mainly US & Iraqi forces, Florya.
sometimes it's hard for me to include everything when my sentences have already become these long, tangential, maze-like structures of grammar and ideas.
& then i forget to mention it in the next sentence...
I agree, Tokolosh. These tribes will always hate each other & war over the resources of the region.
on that subject & the subject of Hussein:
Sunni leader Saddam Hussein is evil. He came to power by evil & as he left power he was ruling as an evil tyrant over the citizens of that country. There was a time in the middle of his rule there to get everyone behind him & to make the country more liveable & secure for himself that Hussein actually did some good, but he is a lecherous person.
As Tokolosh's previous post points, maybe that country needed to be ruled by an iron fist though. Just like the Hebrews needed the Old Testament, for instance. It certainly isn't the US' place to invade a sovereign nation on trumped-up accusations just because the leader is a dictator & is fucking us over on oil prices.
No. 2 al-Zaqawi was evil. Hopefully we can alll agree on these things.
Here's where things get perhaps more difficult to accept.
al-Zarqawi was a Sunni extremist, not the typical Shi'ite extremist & they are simply the worst. These tribes hate each other. The reason why more troops are going in now is because they plan the final extermination of the Sunni insurgency and to hand over power to the Shi'ites with the deal they had all along. We're still building the palacial US Embassy, we still got the pipeline thing going into Europe. Once the Sunnis are squashed, & it may even take years, then it'll be announced that our troops are leaving & Iraq will have effecively become Iran II and power will be handed over to Shi'ite extremists. If the US honestly thinks that through doing this we can win them as an ally once they gain greater weaponry years down the line, then we are fooling ourselves and effectively selling out ours & everybody else's future.* Shi'ites are anti-Zionist jihadist terrorists, trained from an early age under penalty of death.
*Yes, all this affects Europeans too. That should be crytal clear to everyone, due to "attacks" in London and Madrid & stories like the one told today by Mr. Kahar, but unfortunately it isn't as some make it all into some cartoon starring the bumbling, full-of-himself "American Cowboy Bush"; for whom another head will also grow after he leaves office. World commerce cannot happen without America's devotion of a significant portion of our military power to maintain it. Without our Navy & Air Force providing security on the world's oceans & in the world's skies, there is no more modern commerce for this world. As America weakens, everything shakes up.
