Another example of why Muslims can’t be trusted. Gen. Petraeus started the Sons of Iraq Militias to get Sunnis in Iraq to fight AL-Qaeda. It worked but when the US gave responsibility to the Iraqi government, The Shiite led government stopped paying the SOI and arresting its leaders. It also didn’t integrate them into their security forces like they promised the Americans. Now the violence is back.
Iraq bloodshed rises as US allies defect
IRAQ is threatened by a new wave of sectarian violence as members of the “Sons of Iraq” – the Sunni Awakening militias that were paid by the US to fight Al-Qaeda – begin to rejoin the insurgency.
If the spike in violence continues, it could affect President Barack Obama’s pledge to withdraw all combat troops from Iraqi cities by the end of June. All US troops are due to leave the country by 2012.
A leading member of the Political Council of Iraqi Resistance, which represents six Sunni militant groups, said: “The resistance has now returned to the field and is intensifying its attacks against the enemy. The number of coalition forces killed is on the rise.”
This is another example of why it makes no sense to try to build a democracy in the Muslim world. They don’t compromise and turn on each other. Invading Iraq was a mistake. I am for leveling the whole place and leaving. Turn it back to a desert and leave them up to their own devises. We should do the same in Afghanistan, we need to level it and leave. I am sick of us trying to help Muslims, let them all destroy each other.
