On May 7th I read an associated Press release on my Yahoo internet sight. I could not believe what I was reading. I am now sure that we have now, knowingly and willing, entered the Iraqi Civil war squarely on the side of the Shia Majority who have, since our arrival in Iraq, terrorized the Sunni Minority who, during the reign of Saddam, lorded power over the Shia and insured they suffered considerably.

We are now, effectively, allies with the Shia in Iraq in their civil war with the Sunni Muslims.

IRAQ, Not Wanting To Stay, Not Able To Leave

By Marshall Adame

In 2003 the US lead Coalition came into Iraq to liberate the Iraqi people, capture and destroy the confirmed weapons of mass destruction, including possible nuclear capability, and overthrow a brutal tyrant who brutalized his people, led genocide in his own country and invaded his neighbor.

In 2004 we had thrown out the tyrant, who deserved it anyway, and were now battling the pro-Saddam Iraqi insurgency and the followers of the radical Shia cleric Moqtada Al Sadr while trying to establish the legitimate Iraq Government institutions to facilitate the fledgling Democracy.

In 2005 we were battling Al Qaeda in Iraq, led by Abdul Al Zarqawi in an effort to save the Democratic government from the scourge of the world wide terrorist movement led by Osama Bin Laden.
