Although this article is from March the situation hasn’t changed much. The sad fact is that the Iraq we’re fighting for has a government that has been stagnated by infighting and security forces that have been penetrated with Shi’ite militias that are part of the low intensity civil war that is currently going on.

It’s also important to note that many Iraqi parliament members back the very militias that are contributing to the sectarian violence.

Were not just fighting insurgents anymore, were up against a corrupt national government and indigenous security forces infiltrated by sectarian partisans.

WHY IRAQ’S POLICE ARE A MENACE


By daybreak, 40 more bodies were found around the city, most bearing signs of torture before the men were killed execution-style. The most gruesome discovery was an 18-by-24-foot mass grave in the Shi'ite slum of Kamaliyah in east Baghdad containing the bodies of 29 men, clad only in their underwear with their hands bound and their mouths covered with tape. Local residents only found it because the ground was oozing blood.

The grisly discovery was horrible enough, the latest and perhaps most chilling sign that Iraq is descending further into butchery — and quite possibly civil war. But almost as disturbing is the growing evidence that the massacres and others like it are being tolerated and even abetted by Iraq's Shi'ite-dominated police forces, overseen by Iraq's Interior Minister, Bayan Jabr. On his watch, sectarian militias have swelled the ranks of the police units and, Sunnis charge, used their positions to carry out revenge killings against Sunnis.

But I thought we were winning the war on terror...

It's actually the exact opposite.

What Bush also doesn't want people to know is that over 40% of professionals, including 12,000 doctors, have left Iraq. They want no part of Bush's "Wonderland". The country is degenerating into civil war.
