That’s been going on for quite some time. Sheikh Sittar was conducting anti al-Qaida raids when I was deployed to Ramadi. The tribes haven’t moved more forcefully against al-Qaida because we are still occupying Iraq.

Sunni Violence is more than just al-Qaida. The nationalists and the opportunists have, and will continue to be, the primary threat to US forces—do your homework. Iraqis don’t like it when foreign jihadists kill kids with VBIEDs. They couldn’t give two sh*ts about casualties from an IED blast on US forces, other than the potholes.

And this does nothing to address the Shia side of the house, or Turkish troops, Bush’s so-called “allies”, in free Kurdistan!

You served in Iraq and you are such a defeatist?! Shame on you if this is true. I did my homework very well, you are the one who are not doing it, many of these Sunni insurgents groups are asking for US help to destroy Al Qaeda in their lands and they are shooting much less at our troops.

Sorry to disappoint, but your brave friends have already won the war against Al Qaeda and the official results of this great victory will be very well known to the world by the end of this year.
