The Times: Reports that the fragile peace in Iraq could break down, the Sunnis that changed sides from the terrorists to support the Iraqi Government and the USA are feeling left out in the Cold when it comes to jobs. In the words of JFK, its their war and they have to win it, the UK is out of the door in the South, the UK handed over Command to the USA. The USA will have combat troops out of Iraq by August 2010, and a smaller group of around thirty five thousand to fifty thousand by 2011. Its up the Iraq government to makes sure the Sunnis are bought in to government, thus past deals have to be honoured, as those deals between the Sunnis and the USA. On the other hand if a strong man has to take over, so let be, the West is out, Iraq has to make a choice, does it go back to the violence of 2006/7 or does it look forward. If Iraq falls apart this will hurt the Obama Foreign Policy, he does not want two years out a surge of violence in Iraq, that cost Bush 43 the Congress in 2006 and the Republicans lost the White House in 2008. It can be postulated that Iran is behind moves to cause problems in Iraq, if there is mayhem in Iraq, the USA cant really place pressure on them over their nuclear ambitions. A game within a game folks.
