Chaos in Mosul

This article shows a lot of what's going wrong with the occupation of Iraq. While taking Falluja, we lose control of Mosul. The pro-government Iraqi forces refuse to fight the insurgents there, and are being replaced with the only Iraqis who reliably fight their contrymen, the Kurds. The Kurdish fighters being sent to Mosul are now on the borders, which the administration often reminds us are insufficiently controlled anyway. Not only that, but Sunni/Shi'ite tensions which have not historically existed in Iraq become increasingly real as our policies categorize people primarily in terms of religion and as many look to religious leaders as the only national figures untainted by Ba'athist corruption.
