Iran is backing both sides of this, more so the side the U.S. Government is also supporting. Bush and Pertraus's chosen troll Malaki is hosting friendly visits from Iran's President Ahmadinejad. McCain is claiming that Iran is backing their mortal enemies the Sunnis but the facts show that most of the arms and insurgents are actually coming from Saudi Arabia,contrary to and conveniently ommitted by old friends and partners in oil, Pres. Bush and side kick Dick. The Sunnis want to kill the Shiite and Al_Queda (if paid off), Shiite want to kill each other and the Sunnis. In the end though, Sunnis , Shiite ,Saudis, Al-Queda and Iran all want to kill the U.S. occupiers.
We can't help these corrupt, hostile, nuts much less have any influence over their government , civil wars or power grabs.
While we continue to sink in the quicksand of Iraq.Bush and McCain encourage us to fight it a little harder and longer.The American people are smart enough to know what happens when you follow that advice.
McCain is either showing his senility or has a case of mis-information diahrea that currently afflicts his two Republican allies in the White House.
You can say this for the Republicans they are a stubborn bunch when having to admit they are wrong.So stubborn in fact that they are willing to risk the future of our country just to delay the inevitable.
