Yes and No. Zarquawi came up with the strategy to start the sunni-shiaa civil war. Some al quaeda is also fighting with sunni tribal leaders in anbar. The civil strife might not have happened at all and certainly not to the degree it has without "al quaeda in iraq." If we do in fact have to pull out, we need to do whatever we can to deny al quaeda a victory in all of this. Some say sunnis are not stupid and will take care of what is largely a foreign force as we depart.

What makes you think Al Queda is blowing up Iraqis?

Whiffle, if you're just asking this out of ignorance, then obviously you need to delve deeper into the biographies of Al Qai'da leaders operating in Iraq.

Start with the late Abu Mu'sab Al-Zarqawi, and then his replacement Abu Ayyub Al-Masri.

There is NO DOUBT that foreign Al Qai'da leaders/followers are infiltrating into Iraq for the purpose of inciting a Sunni/Shi'a civil war and turning Iraq into a base from which to strike out at the West.

"He probably came into Iraq in 2002, before Zarqawi's arrival, and may have helped establish the first al-Qaeda cell in the Baghdad area.....

....He is the last remaining original member of the Mujahideen Shura Council."
