The Shi'ite led government is unlikely to control the security since they are Iranian pawns.

As pointed out to you repeatedly, your opinions are not facts. Please quit posting your opinions as statements of fact. As the data shows your Dinocon dogma are not only ignorant but incorrect as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Iraq http://icasualties.org/oif/

I'm pretty certain that I disagree with MinorityRepublican's opinions on a few things, but he appears to have his facts straight. The government of Iraq is dominated by SCIRI (which just changed its name). SCIRI was founded by Ayatollah Khomeini.

The army war college has published a rather radical suggestion: we should stop fighting the insurgency and just try to get everyone to calm down. This means negotiating with sides of the conflict regardless of whether or not we prefer their world view. You can read the study here.

The idea that we need to hold our nose and make nice with the Sunni's has support from some top strategists. Are you responding to something else in MinorityRepublican's post?
