#1 So get it on, already.

The entire sequence of events that has transpired since the taking of Baghdad was pretty damned clear at least 2 years ago. From the Shia death squads to the Sunni Ba'athist alliance with alQ to the eventual partitioning and isolation from Arab insanity by the Kurds. Even the cowardice of the "insurgents" targeting regular Iraqis when they found coalition troops would adapt to attacks and make them pay in spades was obvious.

So drink your fucking tea and get on with it.

#5 The only regretable aspect to this is that when Al-Q is gone, there will be yet another organized militia left to deal with.
