Who are we fighting in Iraq? (Part II)

At the UN today, (AP) Maliki "warned the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday that the continued flow of weapons, suicide bombers and terrorism funding into his country would result in "disastrous consequences" for the region and the world."

But if you read what he said through the filter of Iraqi usage, he is referring entirely to Sunni weapons, Sunni suicide bombers, and Sunni terrorism funding, not the Iranian Shia assistance.

The Maliki government, right now, is working for the release of an Iranian alleged to be involved in weapons smuggling from Iran. The Shia and Kurdish leaders are almost all involved to some degree with the Iranian transfers/influence.

The Iraqi government wants the Iranian arms flow into Kurdish and Shia militias, and the US military is fighting against the Iraqi government to try and stop it.

That's what we're fighting for.
