Has President Obama chosen sides in Iraq?

. . . I've read and listened to his other statements, as well:

I regard giving military assistance to the Maliki regime's army as effectively providing support for just one 'side' in the Iraq civil conflict.

Consider, not only has the Maliki government refused to completely include the Sunni community and others under the complete protection and support of their constitution; there has been absolutely no apparent political rapprochement even proffered by the Maliki regime in advance of this deployment of military advisers; the bulk of the Maliki regime's use of his U.S. enabled military forces has been against the communities of his political rivals; and there will correctly be no distinction in the Iraqis' minds at the receiving end of whatever support the U.S. materially or logistically provides the Iraqi forces between overt or covert attacks.

The President's own words about waiting for a political solution or that there is no military solution is transparently betrayed by his deployment of 300 military advisers who will sharpen the Iraqi forces attacks against Iraqi targets. Anyone who believes those attacks will be 'precise' and pinpointed obviously missed Bush's own assurances as he sought to do his own nation-building behind the force of our nation's defenses.
