What else can we do?

It’s not Al-Queada causing US problems in Iraq, but it’s the Shia vs. Sunni listening to their Imans. Maybe we should send over Pat Robertson, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, A Catholic Bishop or two, and explain to the Imans they can have a lot more money and power if they have a stable prosperous Iraq.

Al-Qaeda is, right now the accelerant in Iraq. They are behind 85% of the suicide attacks. Stop al-Qaeda and you have a very good chance of getting your hands around most of the problems in Iraq (assuming you don’t pull out troops that is).

Right. It's al Qaeda.

And there is no civil war. There was never a civil war. Turn off the nightly news and pay closer attention.

I just noticed you were new here. There is a lot of misinformation on the Internet, and a lot of politician, for their own reasons, are not giving out what is really happening in Iraq. Slowly, that is changing, but it is taking time.

Stay here and read the posts on Iraq and you will be able to get a glimmer of the real story, with sources cited.

The short story is:

- Al-Qaeda is the accelerant to violence in Iraq (as I said before, approx 85% of all suicide bombers are al-Qaeda). Al-Qaeda is a foreign lead and foreign funded opperation in Iraq.
- Iran funds, arms and trains the Shiite militias who also are a cause of violence in Iraq.

Iraq is a very complex place, but it is not unwinable.
