This is great news, but Im not sure the Baathists are the ones giving us the most problems. However, if the Baathist fighters could fight on our side, then we might be able to start winning and get the heck out of there.
Maybe, maybe not. But if true, the intelligence information alone should be worth the switch.
Start?
He's switching sides because we are winning! He likes staying alive and all that.
The Baathists aid and abett the insugents.
The Baathists were Saddam's party. Why do we like them all of the sudden?
The Baathists have nasicly been the mourderous criminal gang of Iraq. Killing Americans for whoever paid the most.
They may be brutal killers, but they are not stupid. They see the changes in the wind, and want to be on the winning side.
Remember, it was AQ seeing the opportunity to force a US withdrawal (Thanks to our Democrat traitors) that kicked off this “Civil War” in the 1st place!
More and more market indicators seem to be pointing in our direction. The dems backpedaling on their defeatist prognostications is another great indicator.
I'm with you on getting the heck out of there, but only when we've marginalized AQ. This would definitely be another big step in that direction.
