Tuesday, February 15, 2005 Holy Mother of God...the US might be Arming the Sunnis to Stop the Iran-Shiite Bond in Iraq?! If the Asia Times is accurate, and to be believed, how freaking scary is this thought: the US might be arming the Ba'athist Sunnis so they can stop the Shiites from forming close bonds to Iran's religious clerics??? I've heard of making deals with the devil, but come on! We've been told since day one that it is the Ba'athists who are the insurgents...that it is the Ba'athists who are killing our soldiers and waging war on the Iraqi civilians. But what if this article is correct...it just truly begs, no, SCREAMS the question: What the hell are we doing in Iraq? Maybe this Financial Times article can shed some much needed light on the subject. And I have to wonder this, since we backed Saddam during the time of the Iran/Iraq War-- b/c we were so afraid of the possibility of an Iranian Shiite victory-- why would we now EVER support an Iraqi Shiite victory? Kind of makes you wonder, huh? I hope these articles are wrong, but given how this war has been allowed to unfold, nothing would shock me. |
