We need the baathists to keep the filthy iranian backed shiites in check. Balance of power. I think from the beginning we should have kept a few of Saddam’s generals in charge of the military. Most of them would have done anything they were told as long has they got a paycheck.
Well, if this is true expect an MSM poll on Dearborn Iraqis declaring that the U.S. has propped up a Saddamist mass-murderer. It’s gonna be damned hard to present this, even though Maliki does needs to be retired.
