From the Dept. of Gee, Ya' think?
McClatchy has a story with this headline:
Arming Sunni militias undercuts Iraqi government, critics sayAnd this quote:
"It is the U.S. basically acknowledging that Iraq is in a civil war," said Vali Nasr, an expert on Shiism at the Council on Foreign Relations, a nonpartisan foreign policy organization. "And that the (Iraqi) government is irrelevant."But don't you worry, Gen. Odie Cologne thinks it is a good idea.
Odierno said that the Sunnis working with U.S. forces are checked closely and are asked to sign a statement that they will not fight U.S. forces or the government.Yeah, right!
in Amariyah Abu Bilal, a leader of an Islamic Army cell working with the U.S. military there, said he is committed to expelling the "occupation."Shouldn't Odie Cologne know who the "occupation" is?
"We fight the occupation to liberate our lands," he said.
