It really seems that all members of the current Iraqi Malaki government cannot fathom just why they lost the Sunni triangle or exactly why thye Sunni's rose up against them.

this comment from the Iraqi US Ambassador is just another step in the please, please, please fight for us (when they ask for assistance it really means fighting for them) and this is not the time to demand from Malaki an inclusive government.

We fell for it all the time from 2005 to 2011 and even now US politicians seem to forget we carried the bulk of the fighting in Iraq and we sill got no influence over Malaki---he even ignored our repeated warnings.

So really why now support him---let him figure out whether the fair weather friends of Russia, Iran and Syria in the end keep Iraq together or cause it to split up.

"Faily said that "because of the urgency on the ground," this was the wrong time for Washington to make U.S. support for Iraq dependent on Maliki either stepping down or truly reaching out to Iraq's Sunni and Kurdish minorities."

Note: With the exact reason for the Sunni uprising staring them in the face they still look for a way out to protect the sheer amounts of money they are racking in via corruption, extortion, and bribes---so the Shia are really no different than the funding raising practiced by the IS.

"Sunni leaders in Iraq's heartland are so angry with Maliki that they are backing the brutal ISIS, who they believe is willing to take the fight to the Iraqi leader and his Shiite allies. "Don't condition it," Faily said. "The risk is too immediate. The threat is too important for us to think about conditionality."

Note: Again once the Sunni are put down who really believes Malaki will create an all inclusive government?

Malaki personally simply hates anything Sunni---that is his core belief system so why is he to compromise?
