Running but?

Iraq seems to be breaking apart, into Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish.

Militants seized Mosul's airport, TV stations and the governor's office. They freed up to 1,000 prisoners.

More than 90,000 Iraqi soldiers deserted rather than confront the militants, according to the official close to Maliki’s office. [Be careful of these reports]. The militants and Sunnis took their place in the city's boulevards and buildings.

This is a habit of Iraqi soldiers once the fight began. In 1992 over 80,000 soldier surrender. They quickly realize that there is a way not to fight.

Now the Iranian are helping the current Shiite government. US are trying to do something but what? Would we have a cooperation with Iran? May be.

The Iraqis are waiting for others to do something.  If no body does, then they will defend the oil field till the end. That is what the Sunnis and Militants are after as well. Time for US Energy Independence, then Iraq would not fight to death for the oil. They may fight for something else.

Just a thought.
