Christopher Allbritton has filed a story for TIME.com about the Badr Brigade and the sectarian killings in Iraq. It is a chilling story about these militias overruning the Iraqi Interior Ministry. It appears we are now arming one side in what is a prelude to full scale civil war.
You can also read my earlier post on the Iraqi Prime Minister’s declared goal of integrating these militias into the government.
So, we have US units attached to Iraqi units and the US calls in airpower. But, some US units are attached to Shia Iraqi units and some are attached to Shiite Iraqi units.
When do US troops start calling in strikes on other US troups helping each others respective units?
