So Iranians are shites. And supposedly have given bombs to Iraq. Which

[applegrove]

means they are bombing Sunnis. Is that corrrect? Are Sunnis the people who are being killed by bombs? I thought Rummy wanted the Sunni armed forces dead.

Help. I'm confused. Is it Sunni civilians who are being killled? Or US trooops. Or what?

I'd like to know more about the supposed bombs.

1. Join the club they have told so many lies I think

most of the American public is confused. I have been under the understanding that the insurgency was mainly Sunni on Shia. Now they are blaming Iran for supplying arms to the insurgents so if the insurgents are killing Shia that seems kind of counter productive since Iran is a Shia nation. Something really scares me is some of the statements I have been hearing from some spineless Democrats supporting action against Iran. I voted Democratic because I want us out of Iraq "now" and these spineless SOB's are going to let Bush get us involved in a wider war.

2. You are right as rain

Al Queda are Sunni as well as communi$t$ and they are the guys the Administration alleges is responsible for September 11. The US Congress gave the Little George Administration permission to invade Iraq to go after Saddam Hussein al Queda Sunni because they are supposedly responsible for September 11. Now the Administration has changed the enemy 180 degrees and the USA is going after Saddam Hussein's and Sunni's sworn enemy Shiites in Iraq and Iran. It is an outrage our brave soldiers are dying and the American people do not even know who our enemy is or that the Administration has changed the enemy from against Saddam Hussein Sunni communi$t$ to where we are fighting on the side of Sunni against Saddam Hussein's enemy Shiite Iraq and Iran. Also the USA is attacking Kurds in the north of Iraq, another Saddam Hussein enemy. The US Congress is making war on the states, treason, as much as the Executive because neither are living under the US Constitution. Basically the USA is in a state of Civil War because the US Constitution is being ignored and we are being ruled by a dictator.

4. The sad fact of the matter is the average American

has no clue about which faction is which. The media tosses these terms around but never defines them; and even if so-called reporters got off their lazy asses and started trying to educate the public about the history of Islam, Mr. and Mrs. Murikan would switch to American Idol.

5. ..

We originally supported Saddam in the 80's because he was against the Shia Government of Iran. The old Shah led government gave bigger contracts to the oil companies that is why we supported them. Then Saddam decided to attack Kuwait & hurt the poor oil companies so we decided to invade & free the oil reserves in Kuwait so the big oil companies could get back to business as usual. This all happened during republican presidents in the WH. But then came 8 years of Bill who did not pander to the big oil. Although he did launch some air strikes against Iraq he did not launch a major war. Mean while the big oil companies were going crazy not being able to get their hands in the Iraqi oil anymore. So along came GW. Their savior. He went straight to Iraq to free the oil so that big oil can make money in Iraq. The only thing these 3 republican presidents have done is to increase the hatred between the Sunni & Shia. They have fueled the war between these groups just to keep the oil flowing. Ultimately they have fueled the hatred of the US by constantly interfering in the Middle East.
