Freedom Racket

Eureka. Found why the "insurgency" keeps surging. Apparently someone needs to convince some of the Iraqi MPs (and their constituents) that US troops are needed in Iraq, for protection. These 82 MPs called for US troop withdrawal in a letter recently made public.

"The government action drew fire from Iraq's main Sunni religious authority, the Association of Muslim Scholars (AMS), which said that it turned the “forced occupation” into an “occupation urged”.

Hmm...so the Sunni, the minority in Iraq, advocates US stays as an urged occupier. Sunni, Saddam's favored sect. I guess we made them an offer they can't refuse...their old jobs and perks, but under democracy of course and minus Saddam.
