Mistakes

The current hostage-taking game in Iraq is clearly not simply about getting America out of Iraq. If it were the merry-go-round kidnappings and releases wouldn't be occurring. Especially when they are now kidnapping nationals of countries that were (and are) opposed to America's position in Iraq such as China and Russia. It smacks of opportunism in the bedlam now occurring in some parts of Iraq. It is clearly un-cordinated and seems more based on a "steal now, work out who we've got later" policy. If there is a better way to draw opprobrium for these "uprisers", I don't know what it is.
