** The truth is even more of a headache. The rebels after Desert Storm (this movie) were the southern Iraqi Shiites. The rebels after 2003 were both the Shiites and the Sunni-dominated Republican Guard everyone fought in this movie. The Shiites dominated the post-2003 government, half the Sunnis laid down their weapons, a separate rebellion formed in Syria, and many Sunni Iraqis rebels teamed up with them forming ISIS.
