While inevitable power struggles go on -- is the time to pit alqaeda foot soldiers against their leaders.
Tell Iraqis that the top alqaeda are the one's we're after and the rest of them can build a new nation - and get a pass for their families. It won't be "amnesty" which is what the dems want to call it - ( dems want all the people in alqaeda to think they must fight to the death - a position that will cause many more American deaths than otherwise) In fact, just like with Germany after W.W.II, we want the big boys. Tell those wondering that now al-Zarqawi is dead, they have a choice. They can save themselves and turn in their leaders or just walk away... We are going to win and they need to jump to the winning side. Also, the ability to exercise that choice is time limited. When we win, and that will be soon, if they're still on the wrong side, that's where they'll have to stay... The new Iraqis government will deal with them - and possibly harshly. Then, let's tell the dems to shut the ---- up.
I don't think we have to announce it ... as more of them realize that their leaders are being consistantly found and taken out, the idea ..." maybe I'll just go home" will take a deeper root. It's not like these guys are wearing some uniform or carrying an ID card in any case.
The hard-case ones will pick up and head to another place they think will work for them... like the Sudan.
We'll get them, as long as we can keep the Dems from providing them sanctuary.
