I just don't understand the Shii'a right now... Do they have ANY sense of history? Under The British, they were doing the same shit back in the day, so the British put a Sunni "leader" in charge. If they really wanna cause trouble, why now? Why not wait untill the June 30th transfer of power to act up? It just really dosen't make any sense, and seems like they are repeating the past.

I would assume from afar that the Iraqi's don't care much about that June 30th date. America is not really handing over any real power. Most the power will reside within the world's largest U.S. Embassy, backed by 110,000 troops. The Shii'a have been attacked and had their newspaper shut down. The Iraqi government was handpicked by the occupying forces. The fledgling Iraqi government will be capable of tackling little more than drawing up a budget and carrying out day to day functions. The United States will still be dictating the policy.

generals are saying they need more troops politicians ie rumsfeld think they know better. bush thinks everything is under control. Colin Powell a vietnam veteran says (in private) there was never an exit strategy and said he has always had doubts, plus in 1999 he was saying iraq didn't have the capability to pose a threat
things are looking very bad if you ask me everything is spiraling out of control
