Do you actually have *any* idea what's going on in Iraq?

You are training, equipping and arming a security force that is almost 
100% Shiite.  THEY are the religious funcamentalists who outnumber the 
Sunni two-to-one.  THEY are the ones who are just waiting to slaughtert 
the secular Sunni, and install a religious theocracy in Iraq, with close 
political ties to Iran.  THEY are the ones that we can most expect mayhem 
and slaughter from, when you finally pack up and go home.  The 'terrorist 
insurgents' or 'violent minority' you refer to are for the most part Sunni 
who do not want you to create an armed, trained group of fundamentalist, 
crazy, Sunni-killing lunatics and leaving them in power!

The 'bumps' will be a bloodbath, with the USA providing the weapons and 
expertise, the Shiites providing the manpower, and the Sunni providing the 
blood!
