The Iraqi Government in Baghdad may be the enemy after all.

(Baghdad) – Iraqi authorities (click here) should immediately order a transparent and impartial investigation into violence between security forces and antigovernment protesters in the western city of Ramadi. The fighting on December 30, 2013, left 17 people dead.
The investigation should also look into the apparently related killings of the brother and five bodyguards of a member of parliament, Ahmed al-Alwany, during his arrest on December 28. The authorities should ensure that all those responsible for unlawful killings and other misuse of force are brought to justice....
Why would an illegal and immoral war actually result in a benevolent government?
The USA is completely wrong in supporting the Baghdad government. The Baghdad government was placed there by nation building. That is the same old world strategy to PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS. The reason there is an Arab Spring is because of this EXACT strategy.
...In the early hours of December 30, hundreds of security force personnel descended on the Ramadi protest camp, where 300 to 400 Sunnis were protesting Iraq’s Shia-led government’s alleged use of abusive counterterrorism measures. Two witnesses told Human Rights Watch that at around 6:30 a.m., army and special police (SWAT) forces with at least 30 Humvee military vehicles, 20 pickup trucks, and 18 armored vehicles surrounded the Ezz and Karama square.
Witness accounts differ as to who began the shooting, but an exchange of fire between the security forces and armed tribesmen outside the square resulted in six deaths and ten wounded....
Those are not Iraqi Humvees. They didn't discover the method to manufacture them. They bought them OR more the truth given them by the USA Military Industrial Complex with the USA paying the freight. The USA is providing a Shi'ite based Baghdad leader with weapons to use against Sunnis. That is a pure and unadulterated ethnic war.
If John Kerry wants to back an ethnic war then he needs to realize their is a world court waiting for him!
