Why no mention of the Saudis inflaming this whole situation by the NeoCons?

2. The story keeps changing.
As of Saturday, the claim was that armor-piercing EFP's were used exclusively

4. all of this to undermine the Shiite-dominated government?
I though it was the Sunnis who were the threat, not the Shias who've aligned themselves with Maliki.

Aren't the Saudis against the Shiites because they are aligned with their nemesis Iran?

Last friday night on the news hour they reported Iran was supplying arms in particular advanced IEDs to the iraqi sunni militia? That is the news-speak for the soon to be announced proof/incident to precede the attack on Iran.
Nobody challenged the charge? Even on the face of it. Just like the death cult assault two weeks ago in Iraq.

6. And the U.S. is siding with the Shias and fighting the Sunnis -.
especially in anti-Sunni propaganda.
