He said the Shiite and Sunni factions are fighting constantly, have had chances to come to a “political solution” to govern Iraq while protected by Americans and have still not done so. It’s not clear how long it would take for these sides to try to empathize with the other and reach an understanding.
“How many more men and women have to die waiting for the Shiite and the Sunnis to come up with a political understanding?” he asked, adding it was time to withdraw our troops.
I'd like to see a fuller explanation of his position. Is there nothing the US should do to foster a political solution toward peace, or is it all about "waiting," as he put it?
