He doesn’t note that this ‘Plan B’ would hand our half-billion dollar ‘GreenZone’embassy over to the Shia who will end up ruling Baghdad.
He doesn’t even note the most likely change, plan ‘C’, which would short-circuit the civil war: facilitate the split into Kurdland, Shialand, and SunniArabLand. US should protect convoys of refugees to make the ethnic cleansing (already ongoing) involve as little bloodshed as possible.
Why do these neocon hawks ignore the ‘split’ possibility advocated by Sen.Biden? Because they can’t stand the thought of an independent, oil-rich Shia ministate possibly allied with the Shia Iran they hate.
But this ministate will inevitably be instituted, when Shia give up the dream of controlling all of Arab Iraq.
