    But I suppose the next leaked NIE will no doubt be proclaimed as proof positive about this that or the other thing.
    Unfortunately for you, people who do actually know the difference between Shias and Sunni are the ones most disgusted with the War on Terrorism and how it is being run.

    So thank god for Bush that the experts don;t know so much. Who knows just how much more biting the reports would have been.

      The doctrinal differences between Baptists and Methodists are smaller than those between Shia and Sunni.

      The better analogy would be knowing the difference between twelver shiites and non-twelver shiites.

        Why is it unfortunate for me?

        Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say unfortunate for all of us, or do you consider yourself an alien presence not beholden to the fate of the US?

          It is indeed unfortunate for us all. And for Iraqis.
