For all the press's attempt to claim their is a nationalist "insurgency" of some sort, and of more importance then the foreign Jihadis, you'll note that the former Baathists and the Jihadis work in unison.
Unlike Iran's puppet Sadr, these two supposedly conflicting and separate groups operate in the same areas, so one would expect, were the press's implictations accurate, that these two groups would be fighting each with some regularity...but they don't seem to be.
Of course the mindful observer will remember that the secular Hussein gave Islamist leader Zarqawi sanctury when the latter fled American forces in Afghanistan...
It what Robert Jensen has been claiming (and cheering for our defeat).
They put the cart before the horse.
Insurgents don't kill civilian children.
Why don't the nationalists VOTE if they're so nationalistic?!
