all I would really like to know is who is behind floating this scenario.
I think it is taqiyya
the iraqi shias would cut off malikis head if he permitted this
Just got home...have you seen this?
Wanna bet Good ‘Old Carl Levin knew this and had to come out ahead of the news cycle with his “well, the surge has seen some successes”! I think on the stock exchange its called “insider trading” only with politicians its backpedalling so as not to look like the LOSERS they really are!
Iraq Report: Al Douri Flips on al Qaeda
************************************EXCERPT*******************************
As Coalition and Iraq troops continue the hunt for al Qaeda throughout Iraq, a senior Baathist who years ago threw in his lot with al Qaeda has flipped. Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the former vice president of Saddam's revolutionary council and number 6 on the "deck of cards" of the 55 most wanted, has "decided to sever ties with al-Qaeda and sign up to the programme of the national resistance, which includes routing Islamist terrorists and opening up dialogue with the Baghdad government and foreign forces," Abu Wisam al-Jashaami told Adnkronos International. "In return, for cooperating in the fight against al-Qaeda, al-Douri has asked for guarantees over his men's safety and for an end to Iraqi army attacks on his militias."
