Alright, I pull up the NY Times front page, and this is what I see: Headline: “Fight for Sadr City a Proving Ground for Iraq Military.”

Then, this: “American commanders see the struggle for control of Sadr City, the stronghold of Shiite militias, as an opportunity to shift more responsibility to the Iraqis.”

I swear, this is the same exact shit they said about Basra and look how that turned out. Defeat, along with high defection rates.

How long do we have to stay in Iraq to fully train one side to fight in a civil war?
