Pat Buchanan thinks he’ll find one. Pat’s column is at anti-war.com. [And here]
Iran brokered a cease-fire between Al Maliki and Sadr, but Gen Petreaus not only denied Iran credit, but blamed the Persians for aiding the anti american gang (Sadr’s Mhadi Army) when in fact they were and are helping the Maliki (Pro American) regime. So we are bribing/arming the anti-turk seperatist kurds, pro-Baathist Sunnis, the Pro Al Qaeda Sunnis, pro-Iranian Shias and villifying/targeting the Iraq nationalist Shiites, the only faction that could rule legitimately and allow us to withdraw!
