I read ML's column last evening, and while I've learned to respect his interpretation of events, in the Middle East especially, what he wrote this time left me with a lot of questions.

The rise of the Islamo-Nazis straddling the Nineveh plains aided the cause of the Shia mullahs in Tehran, or those formerly represented by Maliki in Baghdad? That's a Sunni franchise of the chain, and they don't even offer an opportunity for submission to Shiites, when they cross paths. They just execute them.

I'm not denying his claims regarding backdoor connections to Tehran, but the Muslim Brotherhood and their Sunni supporters in the Kingdoms are already embedded in Foggy Bottom and on staff in Washington. Ledeen doesn't address this novel cooperation between these two strains of Islam that have been killing one another in bunches almost from the hour Mohammed died.

I posted a similar idea on another thread about this article, and got no responses. Why would Obama back Sunnis if he is loyal to Iran? This make no sense.
