#1 Hmmm. Reuters has nuanced their spin. Formerly they were just anti American. Now they are also pro Sunni anti Shiite.

I love the way they quote a Sunni legislator to support what they claim is a Pentagon policy.

Personally, I dislike the Sadrists too and agree that the Sadrists have been doing some ethnic cleansing in the Baghdad area. However, since it seems impossible to put down at once both the various Sunni terror gangs and the Shiite terror gangs, I would prefer getting rid of the Sunni ones as a phase I.

#3 2x4

I assume you mean that we might find some Shiite double (or triple) agents or Shiite weapon's specialists, etc. helping the Sunni terrorists. Yes, certainly, if that happens, its a bonus.
