Operation Enduring Stupidity

From an AP story on Yahoo:

"In what could be a more immediate confrontation, Sanchez said U.S. troops would force the Badr Brigade, a Shiite Muslim militia, to disarm if reports of its reactivation prove true."


"The Badr Brigade is the armed wing of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. U.S. troops ordered the brigade disarmed and disbanded early in the occupation. But on Wednesday, Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim — a member of the U.S.-picked Governing Council and brother of Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, who was killed in last week's Najaf car bombing — suggested the militia had rearmed to provide security for Shiites."

What is wrong with these people (the U.S. in Iraq)? There is no security for anyone in Iraq and the Shiites just lost a leader as well as over 100 people in a horrendous terrorist attack so they decide to arm themselves for protection and the U.S. are now going to try to disarm them.
