Who Are We Fighting?

It looks as though our president is going to send more troops to be put between a rock and a hard place. One thing everyone could agree on, in order to have a war there should be a clear enemy. If not, you end up with something that looks like Iraq. Who are we fighting?
Are we fighting the sunnis ? They are the dominant religious group in the whole middle east. They are also the religion behind the likes of al Qaeda. One of our biggest allies in the middle east is Saudi Arabia. They are sunni dominated. It was they who attacked us on Sept. 11, 2001. We Americans give support and weaponry to the Saudis they in turn give it to the likes of Osama bin Laden. Its an arrangement only an arms dealer could love. Are we fighting the Shiites? They are the majority of the population in Iraq and Iran. The President of Iraq ,Nouri al-Maliki , is a Shiite. He was essentially given power by getting the few remaining votes he needed to win by a fellow named Muqtada al-Sadr. He is in control of the largest militia in Iraq. He is virulently anti-american. He is also responsible for many U.S casualties in this ill fated war. To make matters even more confusing Sadr, in turn, Maliki are receiving support from Iran, who it seems the neo-cons such as Dick Cheney are now itching to go to war with. As I said before it's an arrangement only people who sell bullets, guns, and bombs could love.
That brings us to our soldiers on the ground in the current bloodbath we call Iraq. They are patrolling the streets in places like Bagdad and are nothing more than sitting ducks waiting to get shot at or blown up by I.E.D.'s. They don't know who to shoot back at because everyone looks like an enemy and they most likely are. George Bush in his most recent speech endorsed the idea of escalating this mess. In phrases that would make Orwell roll in his grave he said that by pulling troops out they would stay there longer and by keeping them there they would come home sooner. With talk like this, who is the real enemy.
