Somehow the Americans, through some kind of circuitous reasoning, killed Saddam, relieved the military, and in an attempt to deBaath Iraq, ended up in bed with the Sunnis, who are predominately Baathist. This so exposes the utter bullshit this war was premised on.

here for some reason. I guess the corporate media wants to down
