Yeah, Sure, and Unicorns Will Frolic On the Banks of the Tigris River

Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen, the head of the American Embassy office that is selling the weapons [to the Iraqi military], said he was optimistic that Mr. Maliki and the other Iraqi politicians would work together and that the United States would not end up selling weapons to an authoritarian government.
They must really have some good drugs available in the U.S. Embassy in the Green Zone. For Maliki is already well down the road towards converting his government into a dictatorship. He has his own personal goon squad internal security force.

The Maliki as Dictator cake was baked years ago. So were the seeds for another civil war. Maliki and his cabal figure that they will prevail and they'd just as soon bring it on and get rid of the political influence of both the Sunnis and the Kurds.

The point that 90% or so of the Iraqi people just want to live their lives and have no taste for further warfare means nothing to those who will order the start of the war. It never does.

War is Rarely in favour of any people, especially the innocent.
It was sad that the US got involved, but considering the Neocons at the time it was inevitable.
It is very sad that the new warlords there are agressieve after all the war we showed them up close and personal.
It is sad that it is such a gigantic toilet that we left behind.
THANK "anyone" THAT WE FINALLY GOT OUT.
Like an abusieve marriage, you GOT to hit the road before Anything will get better.
Let the diplomats play now, give them 'money' Better than US Lives !!!

And cotton candy trees. Don't forget the cotton candy trees. After all, what would unicorns eat, if not cotton candy from cotton candy trees?

Meanwhile, in *this* universe.... :(.
