Militiamen tied to Iraqi government involved in killings, Sunni says -KR
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A top Sunni politician on Sunday said that militia members with ties to the Iraqi government were involved in the assassinations last week of two Sunnis involved with drafting the nation's constitution and said that he did not trust the Shiite-dominated government to conduct an honest investigation.

The statements by Saleh al-Mutlak, a member of Iraq's constitutional committee and a spokesman for the influential Sunni group the Iraqi Committee for National Dialogue, came as a suicide bomber struck a police station and nearby Shiite charity clinic in Baghdad, killing more than 20 and wounding another 30.

Both the bombing - the killing of Shiites by a presumably Sunni bomber - and the accusations of government-backed militias involved in the killing of Sunni politicians underscored the ongoing sectarian divide that has hampered the Iraq's political process and left thousands dead.
....
Reached by phone later, however, al-Mutlak declined to lay the deaths of Isssa and Hussein on the Badr Brigade, the armed wing of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, which belongs to the Shiite coalition that swept Iraq's January national elections.

"I would not like to use names," he said.

2. We are fighting them over so that when you fool me once, shame on me

Damn,,, why didn't someone think of the possibility of an internal struggle for power breaking out before we committed ourselves to totally fucking up 2 countries; Iraq and the US.

We are fighting them over there,
