#1 Sunni offensive? I'd say that goes without saying. Seriously stuck on stupid and getting all the help they can ask for from the alQ types.

Sigh.

Chaos. Unity. Yup, Dubya's called it. We shall see. Is the sum IQ sufficient to the task of choosing, rather than just reacting to the opponent's provocations.

A comment on the unconscious Western POV: the numbers of Shi'a dead are, actually, not terribly different from other time periods of the asshat destabilization campaign -- but it appears the symbols, the moskkks and shrines and such, are far more important to the Shi'a than the people.

I hope the Kurds in the military stay safe - they're gonna be needed to man the borders of The Republic of Kurdistan if the Shi'a join the Sunnis in wholesale Arab dementia.

My thoughts exactly, .com. In some people's minds symbols count more than the thousands of innocent people blown up to date. Of course, that doesn't preclude having "terror masters" pushing just the right buttons behind the scenes this go 'round.
