#1 Actually Maliki's situation is the result of massive vote fraud by Iran. The Iranians tried to give election to the 2 Shiite religious parties, and they almost succeeded.
The Iranians are also giving those 2 parties aid to the tune of several billion dollars a year.

#2 Shiites are killing Sunnis and both are killing government officials and occupation forces. Once ethnic borders are established, then it will stop.

#3 re: Nouri al-Maliki and his gubmint...

From the pool Iraqi Generals Choose wisely the best [who are pro US *for real*] and then back a Mil-Govt takeover until conditions on the ground change for the better.

IE.
All Militias ground down to a nubin,

Infrastructure repaired as can be afforded,

Oil reserves developed, and Iraqis promised
a yearly stipend from the oil just like our Alaskan citizens get from North Slope oil.

#4 Iff Dubya's plan was to use IRAQ andor AFGHANISTAN as a "killing ground" by using these countries as bait so that instead of using scant US volunteer milfors to invade myriad pro-Radicalist/Terror Supporting Muslim countries, dedicated Radical Islamists will instead come to one = fem US-controlled areas to be destroyed - well, it worked. Iff as GLENN BECK believes [C2CAM.com/Show] Dubya's plan was always focused = cnetered against IRAN, this hasn't worked out too well becuz the US Voter hasn't seen or learned of any overt/covert US operation or scheme to destabilize Iran. While Dubya& Admin had HINTED of such efforts, ALL THE US VOTER SEES IS MOUD + RADICALS STILL IN POWER AND NO "REGIME CHANGE" IN ANY FORM TAKING PLACE. IMO 2006 > THE US VOTER WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IS THE DE FACTO LT AGENDA OR US POLICIES FOR THE ENTIRE ME + NORTH KOREA. 2006 was NOT voter rejection of either PRE-EMPTION or USA USING MIL FORCE TO DEAL WID NATIONS-GOVTS WHOM SUPPOR TERROR OR ATTACKS AGZ AMERICA. The US VOTER wants to see VICTORY + DEMOCRACY/LIBERTY, WANNA SEE MOUD + KIMMIE GETTING SHOT BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE OR GETTING THE BOOT, NOT PC + NOT POLITIX OF POLISCHTICK WHERE US SOLDIERS ARE GETTING SHOT WHILE ENEMY HEADS OF STATE ARE ALIVE, WELL, AND STILL RANTING. WANT PATTON + MACARTHUR + STORMIN NORMAN, NOT HORATIO GATES OR CHARLES LEE OR MONTGOMERY, OR MANY POST-BAY-OF-PIGS CUBAS. The Amer people wanna hear + feel VICTORY, not MSM PC "Winning = Losing/Losing = WInning forever".

#5 Truly well said, JosephM, if a bit difficult to read between the CAPITALS and the abbrevs.
