Many of Iraq's predominantly Sunni Arab insurgents would lay down their arms and join the political process in exchange for guarantees of their safety and that of their co-religionists, according to a prominent Sunni politician.
Sharif Ali Bin al-Hussein, who heads Iraq's main monarchist movement and is in contact with guerrilla leaders, said many insurgents including former officials of the ruling Ba'ath party, army officers, and Islamists have been searching for a way to end their campaign against US troops and Iraqi government forces since the January 30 election.

Okay, terrorists. Here's an exit strategy: For every gun and fellow insurgent you turn it, we'll brand you with a "T" on your cheek, give you an ankle braclet and a conditional amnesty.
Keep your nose clean and we'll even give you a job pointing out roadside bombs and other terrorists. Do a good job of this and your conditional amnesty will become permanent.

Exit strategy?
How about putting down your weapons and stop bombing anyone in sight, as well as the occasional kidnappings and beheadings?
Didn't think of that?
in exchange for guarantees of their safety and that of their co-religionists
After years of murder and destruction, they want a guarantee of safety?
Here's one. - Keep fighting until the Iraqi and American forces kill every one of you.

I think that Fallujah was the tipping point, and that the elections made the trend obvious.
And I further believe that is why so many dems and other socialists were all for a delay of the elections to "improve security."

Well the US peace movement will be deeply saddened. All of those signs saying support the insurgency, Such a waste.

Well they still have those Palestinian terrorist groups to support, so they have something to look forward too at their "peace" rallies

Isn't it interesting that when the same people who are always urging others to blow themselves up for the glory of Allah get cornered, they run for their lives, hide in a hole and beg for any deal that will extend their own worthless lives?
Here's a deal for you, boys: when you became insurgents against American troops, you signed a contract to commit suicide. You can't walk out on the transaction halfway through.
