They want to cut a deal with US because the Iraqi Government coming in will deal differently.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

but, but, but..this can't be..we're LOSING for cryin out loud..just ask murtha, kerry, klinton et. al...

[Ben Mugged]

Oh Murtha.... your career is calling.....

[VRWCmember]

Bring us Al-Zarqawi's bullet-riddled corpse, and we'll talk.

[Shalom Israel]

Why not? It worked for the PLO. In a few years, who knows? Al Qaeda could be an influential party that cleans up in elections.

[My2Cents]

It's a quagmire.

[snarks_when_bored]

Terrorist murderers are terrorist murderers, no matter how they describe themselves.

[308MBR]

Your role in the new Iraq will be in the Military.....as a target drone.

[Gator101]

They must be about to ask for the formal surrender of the US (if you only listen to the Dems take on how the war is going)

[SteveMcKing]

April 1945, Himmler told Norbert Masur of the World Jewish Congress that Jews and National Socialists should "bury the hatchet".

[KC Burke]

Kerrey wants the terrorism to be a criminal issue to be dealt with by cops and lawyers. Dean wants captured terrorists to be criminals to be dealt with by courts and defense counsels. Chicago Trib and media giants want the terrorists to "patriots" that can be negotiated with by an Albright and a Murtha.

Here we have has-been Republican Guard Baathists trying to get a piece of the action and all the media can see is something that may fit their template.

We are at war. It is a war for our survial. My son is in the Army. Why aren't our politicians and our institutions such as major media and institutions of higher learning recognizing what my kid can see?

Simple. Because it doesn't fit their template for progressive world government to supplant the Republic of our nation.

[sarasota]

Trust an insurgent? You gotta be kidding.

"But they were overruled by Zarqawi," said the commander, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The Iraqis, the national resistance, now have no say."

If they can't stand up to a JORDANIAN and his band of thugs, what chance do they have of being a part of their nation's future? One of these clowns had better sack up and deliver Zarqawi. Maybe then, we can have a meaningful dialogue.

[Tenacious 1]

How about this?

If you are against the terrorist and want some say in the political country, put down the weapons and form a party. Sure, they will be one of 70 (I think), but if they can create support from constituents in the country, they can have some political power for the new republic.

Otherwise, let's meet at a quaint little nuetral spot in Cuba to discuss it. I hear GITMO has accomodating facilities this time of year.

[GretchenM]

They want to run a new Iraqi Department of Torture, Maiming, and Executions?

[Yo-Yo]

"There is a difference between terrorists and the national Iraqi resistance," he said. "Zarqawi's group does nothing but suicide attacks and killing Iraqis. That's not resistance."

WRONG! The "Iraqi National Resistance" are the Sunnis that blow up Shia marketplaces. Zarqawi's group are setting roadside IEDs targeting US convoys.

Don't let these slime push everything off onto Zarqawi.

[Steel Wolf]

at one meeting of insurgent groups last summer, several Iraqi insurgent leaders suggested that "Iran is a bigger enemy of Iraq than America," and proposed that the insurgency refocus its priorities toward battling Iran.

America isn't a threat to the Sunnis. If anything, we're the only thing between them and violent retribution by 80% of Iraq's population. Neither the Kurds nor the Shiites will be as gentle as we are, so now's the time to make nice. They know damn well that if we leave, and they're still causing trouble, it will be civil war, and one they're not in much of a position to win.

[Leatherneck_MT]

Hmm now we know the reason for that recently released Video Tape.

Their house of cards is beginning to come apart at the seams.

[DoughtyOne]

I like your premise...
