How to Start a Civil War

Smoke and Corpses

I saw some Iraqi government soldiers on the ground earlier.

I don't know which part of the country these soldiers are from. They are definitely not from any of the western provinces such as al-Anbar.

I have heard people say they are from Kurdistan.

They are well co-ordinated. When the US forces pull back from an area, the Iraqi soldiers will take over there.

That's smart, flatten a city, kill loads of civilians, and then leave soldiers from a rival ethnic group to guard the rubble. We've got some real rocket scientists running this show.
