Smooth move, monkey

Tell me you didn't see this one coming.

Sunni politicians speak angrily of U.S. bias toward their Shiite rivals. Kurds are more outspoken in demanding self rule ? if not independence. And someone ? perhaps al-Qaida, perhaps Saddam Hussein loyalists ? killed more than 100 people in recent suicide bombings.

Rivalry and resentment among Iraq's ethnic and religious groups have become much more pronounced since Saddam's ouster in April. And those tensions are rising as various groups jockey for position with the approaching June 30 deadline for Iraqis to retake power.

The fault lines are emerging for a possible civil war.

Not to be a scary conspiracy theorist, but with a Shitte majority wanting to take political power and a Kurdish minority with their own military who wish for autonomy, not to mention the displaced Sunnis who used to be in power, this is common sense. This is something that Bush and the morons in his administration should have thought of before telling us that the Iraqi people would welcome us with open arms after we bombed the shit out of them.
