A while back I heard some conservative pundits talk about "picking sides" as a possible strategy in Iraq. Either picking the Sunni or the Shiite faction and then supporting them with weapons. Of course, that didn't make any sense as both sides are attacking us, and each other. It's too crazy to give weapons to people who are just going to turn around and point them at us. There is no way we would do that. Well, at least that's what I though. Turns out... it's our new strategy.
I keep thinking it can't get any worse in Iraq, and it just keeps spinning more and more out of control. Insurgents are blowing up every single bridge in Baghdad, but nobody seems to see this as a problem. Insurgents just blew up another central mosque, again. The same one that inflamed the civil war the last time.
Is anyone following this other than me? Where is the outrage? Perhaps the problem is that too many people watch Fox News, which spends only 6% of it's coverage on the war.
I shudder to think what's coming next in all of this.
