#1 The growing power struggle within the Sunni community in Anbar comes as US and Iraqi troops concentrate efforts in Baghdad to stem violence between Shi'ites and Sunnis.

So it's a bad thing, caused by the US leaving a vacuum in Anbar, right? Couldn't be a sign of desparation by the anit-Iraqi forces? Couldn't be a sign that the local police and increasingly self-reliant army are taking the battle to the 'insurgents'?

Sometimes I wish I was as ignorant as the MSM seems to think we are; then I'd just be one sheep among many sheep.
