Let's hope so.
Closing down here ....nite all!
Thanks for the post. Deals must be going down in the background more often then we realize. These guys just don't pop up and speak like that unless they have a solid backing.
One doesn't want to feel their head will be loosened in a dark ally. I for one continue to support the idea the insurgency will be no more sooner then one might expect. We musn't forget there are no isolated parts in Iraq from the news view point of not having newspapers and TV broadcasts.
And the government continues to broadcast mostly success stories and public interogations. Last week when Zarqawi made that Internet pronouncment that they may soon shift gears to "protecting muslims in Europe", he in essence said Iraq is over. Of course one cannot expect all foreign terrorist are just going to pull up bags and leave, heh heh, perhaps they can no longer cross the border points if no traffic is allowed in or out of the country. There stuck. So either they stay low or they fight in local operations, where they will become fertilizer soon enough. I sense I say things most are not aware of at this point. Lastly, as was posted a day back, the government is now ironing out details to provide military pensions for former Iraqi military. So why should many of these folks want to continue supporting the insurgency? Soon they may be able to retire with a legit pension.
