The shopping list is an interesting one. Iraq’s Shiite government is buying Russian choppers and weapons, but they’re looking to buy American chemical weapons detection tech. It’s not hard to figure out why.

Iraq is in the Shiite axis of Iran and Syria. It expects to be facing off against American weapons from our Sunni allies. More interestingly it expects to have an urgent chemical weapons threat to deal with.

The government of Iraq has approached the United States with a Foreign Military Sales shopping list worth more than $1.9 billion.

So Iraq may be preparing for a full-scale Shiite-Sunni civil war featuring chemical weapons.

If so, we ought to stand back and let them have at it.
