Who are we fighting for?

Bush is always telling us that we'll leave Iraq when the Iraqis are ready to let us go. It looks like it's going to take a long time for us to stand down if we have to wait for this army to stand up and take care of itself. Some 100 Iraqi soldiers refused deployment to Baghdad earlier this week, on the premise they were needed more where they were. It appears Shia and Sunni soldiers don't want to serve outside their home provinces.

Meanwhile, the AP reported the Iranian government is training and equipping much of the Shiite insurgency in Iraq, according to the statement of US General last week. Excuse me, but I thought it was Sunnis, Baathists and AQ who were the insurgents. The Shia are in power and control of the govrnment. So shouldn't that read Iran training Iraqi government militia?
