Cenk Uygur is convinced We Have No Friends In Iraq. His argument is that the three factions are just out for themselves and hate each other, and therefore, "There is no one on our side in Iraq. There is no effective force in Iraq fighting for the same cause we are. That is why the Bush strategy in Iraq is destined for complete failure."
The AP article he links to describes incidents with the Iraqi army in Baghdad that suggest a complete lack of dedication to the job. "Everything we do in Iraq that does not lead to an orderly partition of the country is a waste of time. There are only two possibilities. Either Iraq will split apart or someone like Muqtada al-Sadr will capture most of the country and become a strong man just like Saddam Hussein, except he will be an Islamic fundamentalist."
