Its time for Iraqs Malaki to go. He thinks, because Iraq has a Shia majority, he can ignore and disenfranchise the Sunni minority with the help of Iran. The problem is the Middle East has become a multi-theater arena of proxy battles in the ongoing sectarian war between Shia and Sunni Islamicists. Overall in the region there is about a 80% - 20% Sunni majority. And it is that majority from countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey that is sending money and fighters to Iraq. The US is in a quagmire because we fund ISIS as long as its in Syria fighting Assad, an Alawite (a small Shia sect), but considers it an enemy when it crosses the border into Iraq to fight the Shia government of Malaki, which, in effect allies us with Iran, our supposedly most implacable enemy in the region. Like Martin Sheens character, Captain Willard, said in the movie, Apocalypse Now, The bullshit gets so deep you need wings to stay above it.
