Once it becomes clear that Fallujah will be leveled if they don't out the terrorists, then we will hopefully be seeing terrorists decorating the bridges as a peace offering.
Coming from the Washington Post, this should be in the Breaking News Column.

Just goes to show you, they respect force.
Who was it that said, "...and their hearts and minds will follow"?
Looks like the tide is turning on our side. The name of the game is Patience.
Man oh Man, this is fantastic!
Locals chasing down the visiting Arabs to kill them!
Denying them shelter in their homes....
October Surprise!!!!!
nice. They should be held out of elections AND attacked. Let's see how the Sunni's like that !
That the Fallujahns themselves are tiring of the foreign Arabs causing such violence in their city is a very good sign...for Geo Bush. Not that this makes the other insurgents our friends but it's a good sign of progress, that's for sure.
Shooting 5 of them even?
Well, well when the Fallujahns learn to take out their own trash it makes our job a lot easier!
bttt
Thanks to the moderator, you're in the breaking news section.
/so how will the LA Times and NY Times handle this news?
Hope it's true, but stories like this have been popping up for months now. I'll get excited when I see it actually happening.
This has been building for a while and I was wondering when it would start to break down. Various Iraqi papers have been reporting on the friction between the groups since early summer.
The most recent is this

Like many in Fallujah, this policeman expressed resentment at insurgents who are capable of calling someone a spy merely for talking with people from out of town or trying to make a call on a satellite phone.
"I hate them,” he said. “The mujahideen can decide 'you're a good man', or 'you're a spy.' If it's 'you're a spy', then you're finished."
Others resent the mujahideen’s contempt for anyone who chooses not to carry arms.
"When I see them, I say 'Welcome! Welcome mujahideen! God grant you victory!' But in my heart I curse them," said one merchant.
He recently saw a group of fighters preparing to fire a mortar outside his house, and asked for a few minutes to get his family away from the area before US forces shot back.
The insurgents granted the merchant's request, but only grudgingly, telling him he was a coward, not a Muslim.
W00 freakin h00!
It was bound to happen now that zarqawi and company are beheading Iraqis
Bush is a genius.
Over 2 years ago he predicted the terrorists would turn on one another as our pressure increased.
The disputes have spilled over into harsh words and sporadic violence, with Fallujans killing at least five foreign Arabs in recent weeks, according to witnesses.It's a start. Too bad there's no way to keep that going. Perhaps by surrounding the place and demanding the foreign terrorists are turned over in exchange for amnesty.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

Iraqis telling the scum to scram! I love it! Iraqis are finally getting the message that THEY must take charge and protect their own cities.
