Chinu, why don't you read Gen Casey's last press conference, which I already linked to?

The insurgency is a very complicated situation, which Casey tries to explain. You won't cover it by leaping from one overly simplistic explanation to the next.

Most of people involved in the insurgency are Sunni Iraqis. This doesn't mean that Al Qaeda and foreigners are not involved too. There were tensions within Al Qaeda between Zawahiri and the late Zarqawi. Doesn't mean that Al Qaedo turned Zarqawi in. That they didn't turn him in can be seen by the amount of information and the number of cascading raids that followed within a week - almost 500. Al Qaeda would not have wanted the US to roll a large part of its networtk.
