WASHINGTON - Iraq has ordered $100 million worth of light military equipment from China for its police force, contending that the United States was unable to provide the materiel and is too slow to deliver arms shipments, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said Wednesday.

The China deal, not previously made public, has alarmed military analysts who note that Iraq's security forces already are unable to account for more than 190,000 weapons supplied by the United States, many of which are believed to be in the hands of Shiite and Sunni militias, insurgents, and other forces seeking to destabilize Iraq and target U.S. troops..."

Damn Chinese competition anyway.
 
So the Shiite government is ordering arms from China while we arm the Sunnis that are now our friends since they are helping us take care of the marginally relevant Al Qaeda in Iraq. I sure as shit hope this doesn't develop into China-backed and Iranian-backed Iraqi Shiites versus US and Middles Eastern Sunni government backed Iraqi Sunni. Shitshow is a word that comes to mind.
 
Too late already a shitshow rerun from a few millenia of wasterners aka Christians messing around in the middle east.
