In Iraq, the US is arming both Sunni and Shia, bitter enemies both. Is this not promoting mass bloodshed ?

Question

especially when we pull out.

Answer 1

This is what the conservatives mean when they say the surge "worked".  We are arming the populace supposedly to help them fight against the terrorists in their midst, but in reality it's a pay-off so they don't shoot at us.  We're buying their loyalty, for now.

Answer 2

no silly..its called equality...its the new democracy..equal shares for everybody..we are teaching them not to be stingy...whats good for the Sunni is good for the Shiites...we dont want to show favoritism

Answer 3

G.G. I didn't know that you were privy too classified information on our arming methods.  Actually your statement is completely wrong and almost boarders on treason for spreading false information.  Please consider what you are blabbering about before you show your ignorance in the future!
