#2 As a practical matter, how much power does Iraq's central government actually have in all the regions of the country? El Anbar is not at all under their control. The Kurds are doing their own thing, quite successfully, from what limited reports are coming out of their region. The Shiites in the southeast are apparently semi-independent. Baghdad is partly locked down by US forces, not by the central government. Iraqi military are declining to serve outside of the regions where they enlisted. What's to debate?
