...and turn in those that won't??

[ClearCase_guy]

Clearly, we need to cut and run a lot faster!

[frogjerk]

The terrorists are hurting. Hit them harder!

[Lunatic Fringe]

QUAGMIRE! QUAGMIRE!

[sgtbono2002]

These guys have been listening to our media and Murtha, Kennedy, Kerry, and the rest of the traitorous POS.

What further proof could you want that aid and comfort is being given to them by these Traitors.

[Buck W.]

Now they're sounding like Democrats.

If the terrorists would first stop terrorizing, the Americans could leave this afternoon.

I think should study this offer in great detail before responding.

No.

[aynrandfreak]

The insurgents in these groups will just join with the bigger groups that haven't agreed to stop the attacks.

[dead]

Its just negotiations.

Counter offer: Stop attacks with no conditions and you might not die this year.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Eleven Sunni insurgent groups have offered to halt attacks on the U.S.-led military if the Iraqi government and President Bush set a two-year timetable for withdrawing all foreign troops from the country, insurgent and government officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

This actually sounds very very good....if we are to believe them. Id rather us get the hell out of this country sooner rather than later.

[TSchmereL]

IT IS CALLED A HUDNA, MR. BUSH!

DON'T LISTEN TO THEM.

[Graymatter]

Like to see their white flags and broken swords first.

Zapping the Zarkman was a major turning point.

[StJacques]

I view this as an offer that should be treated as a "starting point," to enable the Iraqi government to divide the Sunni insurgents among themselves, separating them into "Secularists" and "Islamists." In my opinion there can never be any settlement with the "Islamists," but bringing the "Secularists" into open discourse with the Iraqi government may advance the isolation of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and other hard-line Islamists that is already an on-going development within the struggle. Sooner or later we can only succeed when an overwhelming majority of Iraqi Sunnis decide of their own free will to back the new Iraqi government, thus marginalizing the hard-line "Islamists" to the point where we can all be confident that the government can defend itself. A large number of Iraqi Sunnis are already in open conflict with Al Qaeda in Iraq and other hard-line Islamists, which is a natural result of the Sunni discovery that the Islamists are ready to kill anyone and everyone, whether guilty or innocent of opposing them.

I also would like to make clear that I am not proposing any outright acceptance of the terms the eleven insurgent groups have offered. I merely state that it would be a good idea to divide our enemies against themselves and this may present us with an opportunity to do that.

[kidd]

Gee, the terrorists are offering us more time than the democrats did.

[for-q-clinton]

They should say sure. then in 2 years just say we aren't ready due to the other Sunni groups still fighting.

[leadpenny]

I'm surprised these groups haven't also offered to NOT impeach President Bush since they clearly plan to take over the House of Representatives this November. Could they be any more obvious?

[thinkthenpost]

I like the idea of setting a date, maybe something like January 1, 2010 or 2011. I believe you then say something like, we have reviewed the situation on the ground and will complete withdrawal on October 4th, 2009, or 2007, 3 months, or 27 months ahead of schedule, or following consultations with our Iraqi allies we will have to move our withdrawal date to 01-01-2014. Regardless you take away a talking point from the opposition. The more they rant the more unhinged they seem, (as thought that's possible); My opinion only,.....
