What is wrong with this map?
A map with an agenda, Abu Aardvark wrote about this image [reported by qawim] which is circulating around Iraqi and Arab websites, but there one important point Abu Aardvark missed in the map, about the half of Ramadi province was given to Karbala while the reality is; Karbala is the smallest Iraqi province [compare it with the image below], also notice that Kirkuk was given to the so called “middle region”, the “dark murmurings” was about this.
mocked calls for national reconciliation and dismissed those calling for such reconciliation as conspirators. Yes, I anticipate rapid progress on the national reconciliation front. What could possibly go wrong? UPDATE: more on the map fromthe Roads to Iraq blog(”about the half of Ramadi province was given to Karbala while the reality is; Karbala is the smallest Iraqi province”) and Badger (”it isn’t too much of a stretch to think that “security” in this case includes the point about having direct
A formula for internal border wars between the sects. At that point, once that gets going, Biden and his cohorts will say: Ah, but these border wars are already going on, forgetting that they helped foment them. Sounding familiar? UPDATE: TheRoads to Iraqblog identified the original mecia source for this Qawim.net, and in addition to the Ramadi-Karbala switch, also noted something funny in the north, where it appears Kirkuk province has been given to the (Sunni Arab) region of the center.

This is crazy! You need to go the Colombia University website where you can see the pre-1990 map of iraq before Saddam Hussein took 80% of Karbala lands.

[...] Roads to Iraq (via abuardvark) points out a couple of other tweaks. Half of the Ramadi province (a Sunni stronghold) has been given over to the Shiite holy city of Karbala.
