Bush: Iraq violence a defining momentIf the objective is to promote democracy, why are we targetting selected subsets of Shiite militias, while supporting others?

WASHINGTON - President Bush declared on Friday that Iraq stands at a defining moment as it struggles to put down heavily armed Shiite militias in new flare-ups of violence that threaten to undercut security gains and sway his decision about U.S. troop drawdowns.
We have long since lost whatever reputation we may have had as an honest peace broker. We are now just thugs - one group of thugs among many. (See next post)
We support the militias of Maliki (aka, the Iraqi Army) and the Sunni Awakening Councils to win. It's not clear to anyone just exactly how we envision both of these mutually antagonistic groups "winning", but that seems to be our aim.
We want al Sadr to "lose" - tho' he has the support of a substantial - if minority - proportion of the population.
What are we doing?
Can W or any of his minions describe a desired end-state that is in any way achievable?
Stop the madness!
