Terrorism is everybody's enemy. Iraqi tribal leaders get it. Now if only Democrat tribal leaders would realize it.

good news . wonder what it means for central authority though. having a local 30,000 man militia isnt exactly a step toward a unified iraq, if i understood the article

In essence, the tribal leaders have slowly been won over by a combination of coalition perseverance and al Qaeda strategic ineptness. In other words, "Stay the course," the president's mantra, has actually worked. Go figure, DUmmies.

Constant Arab casualties in al Qaeda attacks and al Qaeda's desire for a caliphate have not helped matters any, either. The demoncrats say we should be in Afghanistan looking for Bin Laden. They say this Iraq thing will just turn the Arabs against the US.
In 6 - 10 months when the MSN picks up on this they'll have to come up with some more excuses but hey Hillary will say she was always for the war anyway.

Whoa, somebody must be wrong. This IS NOT what the democrats, and John Murtha are saying. They say we are losing this war and Iraqis are in a Civil War.

Many of the Sunni leaders have decided that the Shia-dominated Iraqi government is not going away any time soon, nor is the democratic process. As such, the tribal leaders have now decided that it is better to be on their good side rather than to be seen as uncooperative. So, it seems that al Qaeda, the Democrats and the liberal news media are the last holdouts trying to destroy democracy in Iraq.

Sounds like they decided we are not going to cut and run.

For al Qaeda, now facing the equivalent of three additional light infantry divisions composed of people who will have knowledge of al Anbar province, it is a huge loss. This IS huge, and it's not 3 light divisions....it's also every man, women and child belonging to the tribes....don't piss off the Bedouins...ever..

They need to stay in line, this militia. While they're productive in the short run, it doesn't mean they're the equivalent of the Indiana National Guard. They are local Shi'ite militants.
