The demorats are not going to be pleased over these developments, regardless of whom will be found to be the perpetrators. Clearly the Iraqi forces are showing they can and will kill Iraqi of all backgrounds as required. Clowns like Pelosi, Biden, Murtha, as well as the RINO team must be fuming under their beady eyes.
One thing seems sure in my mind at this point. The timing between the Iraqi and US forces was no accident. They must have known as the Shia holiday approached they would have to be ready to prevent some major event from happening.
