I call BS
The more I learn about the details in recent attacks the more I feel that there is a alliance between the leaders of Iraq and the ones causing all the trouble. I'm talking about the top of the Iraqi government, not just the Sunni bodyguards. This last attack in the "Green Zone" has confirmed it for me. It was just last week I read about Iraqi government officials complaining about unnecesary searches. I am bothered by the security at airports yet I understand it. If I were in Iraq I would be even more willing to undergo the scrutiny. The signs are obvious to me, it is much more widespread than any of us could imagine.
While American troops control the entrances to the Green Zone, Iraqis control the entrance to the parliament building itself.
A little note about our most recent bomber.
Security officials told The Associated Press then that the bodyguard was a distant relative who had been arrested as an insurgent, freed at al-Zubaie's request, then hired as a bodyguard. At the time, the assassination attempt was at least the third major security breach involving a top politician in four months.
We continue to support this government who is getting it's orders from Al-Sadr. I understand the need for Iraqis to look towards the future and who will be there when we leave, but what I can't comprehend is how we can support this alignment. You would have to be completely blind to not see this conflict of interest. I don't know how to say it any other way. It is the clearest it has ever been. What are we fighting for? A stable government that sides with terrorist? Isn't that the very fucking thing we took out? (Or at least claimed)
You can not support a government who is in bed with the people who are trying to destroy you.
It's not about letting the military do their job. It is politics and it is unfair to them.
