Easy Reading Assignment..

This weekend's reading assignment is actually easy. Here's an interview with Evan Kohlmann, founder of globalterroralert.com, called "The Iraq Insurgency for Beginners". Fascinating Q and A that on the heels of Sy Hersh's piece brings the chaos of Iraq into a clearer view.

Money graph:

What do you make of the recent furor over the Iran government supposedly arming the militias and killing 170 American soldiers?

It's tragic-funny. There have been over 3,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, which means more than 2,830 people were killed by Sunnis, the real insurgents. The way this has been advertised in the press is incredibly disingenuous. Money and weapons and personnel have been coming across the Saudi and Syrian borders for four years and have been directly aiding Sunni insurgents, who are responsible for the lion's share of U.S. casualties. It's the height of hypocrisy to attack Iran and not criticize Saudi Arabia.

As Boehner notes (below), the Dems better figure this thing out.
