SUNNI, SHIITE, WHATEVER: The first team isn't coming in, but hey, at least he's not Alcee Hastings!Putz's snarkiness and sarcasm would be so much more effective if he actually read his links. If he'd bothered to do so, he would've found this passage in the original source.
To his credit, Reyes...knows that the 1,400- year-old split in Islam between Sunnis and Shiites not only fuels the militias and death squads in Iraq, it drives the competition for supremacy across the Middle East between Shiite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia. That’s more than two key Republicans on the Intelligence Committee knew when I interviewed them last summer.More importantly, it's also a hell of a lot more than the Great Leader knew two months before he invaded Iraq.
But whatever. At least he's not Alcee Hastings. Heh!

Isn't Putz's principal writings for Popular Mechanics? And his preoccupation with science fiction - perhaps he cannot fathom "science" (what the Bush admin opposes) nor "fiction" (what the Bush admin espouses).
