Why is the U.S. military still in Iraq?
Behind the smokescreens and dubious claims that the White House Iraq Group (WHIG) has been propagandizing to stabilize Iraq against insurgency, to help establish a democratic government, and to provide security for the Iraqi civilians the U.S. military is now in Iraq to advance Bushs second goal fighting a global war on terrorism. Instead of preventing a civil war from occurring by forging unification, the U.S. military has intensified sectarian differences among three groups Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds. The U.S. Occupation first purged the Baathists (mainly Sunnis), later re-enlisted some of them in the security forces. Imposing a media blackout, the U.S. marines waited until Bush was re-elected as president to move into Sunni territories Tal Afar for destruction and Fallujah a second time to wreak havoc, damaging two-thirds of the buildings in the holy city. Consequently, rebellions broke out nationwide, especially among the Sunnis who later refused to participate in the January 2005
