How many Friedman Units will we give them this time? At some point, the Republicans and the war hawks will have to face the fact that you can't shift a burden to someone who will not bear that burden. Iraqi men (women no longer count there--those who can get kidnapped and killed)are now loyal to the various militia's. We can't protect them from the violence, so they ally with groups that offer some hope of protection. Shame on those in Congress who have permitted this folley.

Iraqi men (women no longer count there–those who can get kidnapped and killed)are now loyal to the various militia’s. We can’t protect them from the violence, so they ally with groups that offer some hope of protection.

Shame on those in Congress who have permitted this folley.
