The problem is and has always been the fact that the administration do not listen to anyone, until it is at least 2 years too late. If they had of surged to start with, maybe it would of been working by now...if they had waited longer before attacking, if they had of worked out how they would stop the shia from going on a murderous revenge filled blood drive... it's hard to point the finger at the opposition to the war and say what would you do now, when in fact, if things were done the way they had said all along the mess wouldn't exist...

the sunni's need to have a leg to stand on if this mess is to be resolved... the other thing people seem to miss is that, maybe the people in power don't want to get along, maybe the shia in government and the sunni tribes want to have a civil war...they don't seem to be making much effort to stop it...
