Didnt iraqi sunni insurgents meet with government reps in syria last week. Perhaps this is the first step in the nationalists (pardon the expression) being peeled away from their collaberation with the foreigner terrorists. Zarquawi attacking sunni clerics for not being anti american enough is kind of interesting i thought. If sunnis do an al sadr and decide to cooperate in elections, who knows???

recently posted a communication from Al Zarqawi on this thread. He's one of the bigger fish that got away but he doesn't sound very happy these days. How could he possible be happy? He's on the run. He lost 2,500 dead or captured insurgents of approximately 3,000 to a total of about 50 US soldiers killed. He's now killing Sunni clerics, a sure sign of desperation. Al Sistani, the single most influential religious leader in Iraq, is taking the position that elections are a good thing. Zarqawi's cohort, the Energizer Bunny Al Sadr, is nowhere to be heard; his Mahdi Army only an illusion now. As far as Zarqawi using Fallujah as a "recruiting tool," well, I haven't heard anything funnier in a long, long time.
