Last Wednesday, the Iraqi Parliament approved the effective break up of Iraq into 3 different regions representing the Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites. The Sunnis were vehemently opposed because they will lose most of the power and almost all of the oil wealth. That parliamentary action also implies American occupation is now a redundancy. The Kurds and Shiites used the American invasion to their advantage in dislodging Sunni dominance.
Spiking U.S. casualties are making the point that Kurd and Shiites are finished with America. Also the mortar attack on the Forward Operating Base Falcon was another clear sign. The devastating explosion in the huge ammo dump was a first of it's kind. U.S. spokesman said," civilians aligned with militia organizations carried out the attack". Does that mean that someone inside the base was part of the attack? The losses of of all kinds of ordinance at the dump was so great that troops could not carry out their duties. Other troops from other areas had to be called up. That mortar attack could have been carried out anytime in the past 3 years . But the paliamentary partition action together with the accelerating U.S. deaths and the ammo dump devestation point to an Iraqi message to America - GET OUT.
