Planning for a "sectarian war" in Iraq is underway

This is the so-called “Iraqi Spring": “United by a common foe, former insurgents and allies have now won support from the Gulf in hope of ousting Shia government: "There is a new plan, a grand plan not like the last time when we worked individually," another commander told me. "This time we are organised. We have co-ordinated with countries like Qatar and Saudi and Jordan. We are organising, training and equipping ourselves but we will start peacefully until the right moment arrives.” How can they talk about a "peaceful revolt" when they are already planning to use armed force?
