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?
