Kagan (neocon warmongering surgiac): "There's been a dramatic decrease in sectarian violence...
in Iraq"

somebody needs to have this guy locked up in a looney bin: he's delusional and poses an imminent danger to others

"No There has been a dramatic decrease in sectarian violence; the situation in Anbar province and within the Sunni community in general has been transformed; the Maliki government has been incredibly supportive of efforts to go after Shiite militiamen. But it's going to be a long, hard slog."

-- Frederick W. Kagan, American Enterprise Institute

1. hey he was on Newshour this week, a du'er told me who he was or really
what he is, what a total asshat he is. I thought the guy he was debating was going to start laughing his ass off at Kagan's answers.

2. I suppose that's why a car bomb at prayers killed 60 people
and 9 US soldiers have died the past 2 days. Yep, that sectarian violence is on the wane. :crazy: Kagan is one crazy fucking wildly-spinning NEOCON.

3. Car bombs aren't sectarian attacks, you see.
Shiite death squad killings via bullet or drill bit, those are sectarian. Car bombs are secular terrorism and therefore not sectarian violence or evidence of a civil war.

He's serious, but I am employing :sarcasm:
