The last couple of sheikhs who did that were assassinated so the value of this is huge.

Let’s see if the LameStream Media picks up on this. I bet not.

Give him the help, equipment, and money that he needs to get the job done.

As heartening as this is, and as brave (aka fool-hardy in some cases) as this Iraqi is, it would seem more likely that Osama (if he is even still alive) will be taken care of by something or someone unannounced.

I’m video challenged by dial-up, but I know what the jist of it is. Thanks to these types of major blunders, I think Obama’s support has reached it’s peak and it’s downhill from now on.

this sounds almost like the basis for a resurrection of the SOG teams from the Vietnam era.

I'm sure there are ways that his forces can be helpful to us even if it's just as prominent enemies of Iraq. Perhaps they could infiltrate his organization or cause Osama to fear anyone who joins as if they were aligned with us through the sons of Anbar.

They cannot say this because it isn't in the template of the narrative that Obama is to ride to power so that he can inflict massive socialism on America. Obama is to the Left of Ted Kennedy. That's why Hillary lost to him. It's why the MSM is so much behind him. All other considerations about truth and reality are irrelevant to the MSM.

We face a common enemy; it seems reasonable to me for us all to work together any way we know how.

Maybe they can get close enough to the enemy to hurt them. I’m thinking that for infiltration or for spying they could help a lot.

Superb article on the unraveling of al Qaeda and especially on the growing support among Iraqis for the US.
Willing to assist in the "Tribal Lands" of Pakistan & Afghanistan? HUGE....
