Iraqi Tribes to Join Forces to Fight Insurgents
By PAUL von ZIELBAUER, KHALID AL-ANSARY and ALI ADEEB
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 17 — More than two-dozen tribes from Iraq’s volatile Sunni Arab-dominated province west of Baghdad have agreed to join forces and fight Al Qaeda insurgents and other foreign-backed “terrorists,” an influential tribal leader said today.

Twenty-five of about 31 tribes in Anbar Province, a vast, mostly desert region that stretches westward from Baghdad to the borders of Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, have agreed to fight together against insurgents and gangs that are “killing people for no reason,” said the tribal leader, Sheik Abdul Sattar Buzaigh Al-Rishawi.

“We held a meeting earlier and agreed to fight those who call themselves mujahedeen,” Mr. Rishawi said in an interview today. “We believe that there is a conspiracy against our Iraqi people. Those terrorists claimed that they are fighters working on liberating Iraq, but they turned out to be killers. Now all the people are fed up and have turned against them.”

The agreement came on a day when a series of coordinated suicide bombings rocked two of Iraq’s most volatile cities outside the capital.

A slick suit with a lot of 'inside the beltway' facile non-answers.

Typical disingenuous pol: QUANTITY of words used seems more important to him then the actual thought behind them.

(I notice that whatever 'points' he loses in the race for the GOP Presidential nomination... seem to then accrue to Mit Romney.)
