Expressing Down the Tubes?
Some guy asks: Is the Golden Mosque bombing a tipping point that will keep Iraq from coming together, as it were, as a unified democracy but also keep things too chaotic for a US withdrawal.
I've been wondering too.
No one has yet taken credit for the bombing but many may gain from it. Just off the top of my head:
Shiites get an excuse to really trash the Sunnis.
Our wingnuts in charge get an excuse to stay in the country.
Whole thing is too convenient and potentially beneficial for others than the obvious guilty parties i.e. the Sunnis. Very reminiscent of the Gulf of Tonkin, in a way. (But don't worry, it isn't really Vietnam all over again; more like George Herbert Walker Bush's Somalian disaster on crack. Boy, that really brought us peace and security and improved our standing in the Islamic world...! Just like W letting himself be dragged by his cocaine damaged nose into the Iraq debacle....
