Iraq

Waiting for September... or is it now November? Whatever the date is, it's another bullshit deadline desined for the US domestic market, not any realistic response to facts on the ground in Iraq. The war’s already lost. Peter Galbraith has it succinctly: “The Shiites voted twice in 2005 for parties that seek to define Iraq as a Shiite state. By their boycotts and votes the Sunni Arabs have almost unanimously rejected the Shiite vision of Iraq’s future, including the new constitution. The Kurds’ envisage an Iraq that does not include them.” He doesn't call it this, but there's talk of "soft partition" cycling among the so-called governing class of America.
