U.S. Arming Sunnis What are they thinking?

From a Washington Post article. You got it. What are they thinking? Giving arms to the Sunnis to fight old Al Qaeda allies. Now let me get this straight. They were allies once now they are not. This war is really confusing. One group hates the other and are at civil war with each other and we are hoping that they will stop fighting and form a Democracy which as our wonderful leader Mr Bush (who I'm sure is absolutely clueless) thinks will stabalize the country once again. Now the military is providing arms to one side to fight the other. What are they thinking? Or are they? Oh yeah let us not forget they tested this and it worked in one little area of the country and although it is risky, it just might work elsewhere. Did somebody slip LSD in the drinking water? We have the military who have no clue as to what to do to get the country which is steadily colapsing in upon itself back to some form of normalcy, whatever that is?

I think we eventually have to face the fact that what we are doing isn't working. Not only that it is making everything worse. Nothing we have done has been the least successful. I hate to say it but this is an unwinable war and the sooner we realize it the better. Giving weapons to the enemy is stupid and counterproductive to say the least. What we really need to do is to stop what we are doing and start packing and get out. That is the only logical thing to do.
Ain't that the truth?
