I am not sure that they are so much confused as not interested. They
don't need to understand the detail as long as the civil wars they are
helping to cause give them an overt excuse to stay in Iraq.


Why would they want an excuse to stay in Iraq? Politically it would be much
more advantageous for them to be able to pull their troops out of Iraq, say
just in time for next year's congressional elections.
