Fascinating insight into the Iraq Civil War that Bush and Dixie created

[Cypress]

From the only western correspondent left, who is able to regularly report from behind the front lines of the civil war - a dude who still has the balls to go out and meet with sunni insurgents:


Bottom line: The lies of Bush/McCain/Lieberman/Dixie are all way off the mark. This isn't about a monolithic group of "evil doers" who want to follow us back to the united states, and blow up walmarts in kansas city.

The insurgency has evolved. The sunni are more interested in killing shia, than they are in killing americans. They view the shia militias as persian stooges. And some of the sunnis are perfectly willing to USE american soldiers, to kill their shia enemy:


'The jihad now is against the Shias, not the Americans'

As 20,000 more US troops head for Iraq, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, the only correspondent reporting regularly from behind the country's sectarian battle lines, reveals how the Sunni insurgency has changed

I have noticed that pretty much everyone except Bush has accepted that Iraq is in a civil war.
