Seems to be "let's get everybody to hate us: the sunnis, the shiites, and the kurds". Well, we've got two out of three going. There some reason for a new feeling of brotherhood now between the shiite and the sunni communities: they both want to kill Americans.
That was clever by the Bushies. And I kept underestimating them.
On a somewhat related note, funny how the wingers seem to really care about civilians/merc dieing, but not much of a peep when it's soldiers. WaPo is reporting three more dead today. Haven't noticed any wingers mourning our new heroes yet.
Kos obviously screwed up in the manner he expressed his views. But, I'd love the repugs to start focusing more on our dead and maimed soldiers more, now that they seem to have a newfound sensibilities towards the carnage in their mid-east colony.
