Iraq: Conference and Shiites
Well, I see things are going according to plan. The US forces are killing expendable militiamen in that every more silly body count game, and the Shittes generally are becoming inflamed against the Americans. Super. The coverage of the conference by al-Arabiyah today showed Shiite centrists threatening to walk out if the assualt on Najaf is not halted.
The American military is doubtless a great fighting machine, but its command structure seems without any clue as to how to master the situation. Of course one has to admit they were not given the tools.
