I'm not saying I know more about the situation than Abizaid, Casey, or Malaki; but saying the crisis is political is really neither here nor there in my book, as all it makes reference to is the power vacuum in Iraq and all the players trying to fill the void. I'm asking you this honestly, do you think that if we were somehow magically able to compromise with all the factions that the violence would stop? Me I'm thinking that there is no compromising with them, not just between America and the militias/factions, I would say between the factions which would be the most important thing, there is just too much bullshit to sift through.
And forgive my political incorrectness, but the DoD posting that is retarded, and is another prime example of the ineptitude in which the way this government and military has waged this "war".
