Correlation between U.S. Attorneys and Sunnis?
Edited on Mon Apr-30-07 10:54 AM by ejbr
BAGHDAD - A department of the Iraqi prime minister's office is playing a leading role in the arrest and removal of senior Iraqi army and national police officers, some of whom have apparently worked too aggressively to combat violent Shiite militias, according to U.S. military officials in Baghdad.

Since March 1, at least 16 army and national police commanders have been fired, detained or pressured to resign; at least nine of them are Sunnis, according to U.S. military documents shown to The Washington Post.

Although some of the officers appear to have been fired for legitimate reasons, such as poor performance or corruption, several were considered to be among the better Iraqi officers in the field. The dismissals have angered U.S. and Iraqi leaders who say the Shiite-led government is sabotaging the military to achieve sectarian goals.
Story found here.

Now where on EARTH do you think they got this hairbrain idea?! It sounds somewhat familiar but I can't seem to put my finger on it...unless you are talking about the U.S. Attorney purge scandal where Republicans most likely fired attorneys "considered to be among the better" U.S. attorneys in the country for political reasons.

I think this tautology works:

"Sabotaging the military to achieve sectarian goals"=sabotaging the U.S. Justice system to achieve political goals.

NOW THAT IS TAKING THE EXPORTATION OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!!
