Doubtful. Quotes I saw in a recent piece: Army officer to new Sunni "ally": "Do you want to kill me?" New Sunni "ally": "Yes, but not right now". Sure, they'll take US money and weapons. But Sunnis almost unanimously support attacks on the detested occupiers, so I'd watch my back if I was an occupation grunt or merc hanging with my new Sunni BFFs. “Pro-US”? Doubtful.

Nobody likes a sell out. I imagine the Saudi funded Wahhabis pay good compensation for eliminating these collaborators. Just a matter of time until their headless corpses turn up in some ditch.

We need to leave those people alone, forget about our expensive bases, we had no right to build in the first place, and save money (and also face in my opinion) and do the people of Iraq a tremendous favor.
