Iraqi rebels dividing, losing support

Since two of Muthar's brothers and four of his cousins - all members in a family trucking cooperative - were tortured and murdered in the resistance stronghold three weeks ago, he's changed his mind about how the US handled Fallujah.

These people have to resort to terrorism since they can't win a free election.

"It makes me very uncomfortable to say this, but if the American's weren't around [to attack] we would be fighting among ourselves...

Nuff said.

[Mr. K]

this is going to be a confused place for a while- they lived for 30 years under SoDamn hInsane.

Tom Daschle is VERY deep in his sadness now.

Fallujah is emerging as a symbol of the disparate nature of the overall insurgency inside Iraq. Many Shiites, like the Muthars, have stopped supporting it.

Fallujah emerged as that symbol quite a while ago. The fact that Shi'a supported it shows (once again, for slow learners) that Moslems can't be trusted with a burned out match.

Sounds more like a demoncratic comgressman.

Maybe they would like the insurgents better if they played Dinah Moe Humm.

Since all of Arab culture is so incredibly dysfunctional and based on lies and image and bluster over facts, it's important for these people to experience first hand who the real enemy in Fallujah actually is. Hint: they aren't wearing the Stars and Stripes. Telling them this six hundred billion times doesn't work, but showing them once by leaving the city alone so they can spill blood on each other is sometimes the only way.

[Minnesota Lady]

Good one!

[Strategerist]

I'm convinced the pullout of Fallujah was a deliberate Rope-A-Dope that will prove brilliant in the long run.

It's a nice demonstrator city for what happens when that city is run by terrorist nutballs.

[ccmay]

Fallujah has become a haven for the country's tiny cohort of foreign fighters

Let them gather, and then let fall the night of the Long Knives. Leave no stone standing upon another.

Ya, know, the Iraqi's can just take on Falluja as a project, themselves, we freed them from Saddam, now they can go in and root out the resistance, and if they cannot handle it then, too bad, they will have to learn how to fight for freedom, it doesn't come with cost.

[agincourt1415]

Correction: Freedom doesn't come without cost.

Muthar Truckers?

Yeah, the best solution of all is simply have the reconstituted Iraqi army destroy the rats nest. When they'll be ready to handle it, I'm not sure.

[agincourt1415]

I think they (the good Iraqi Citzens) will get into the swing of things, I see a lot of positives coming out of Iraq, the Iraqi's are gona get mad and take out the "freddy foreigners" coming in to cause trouble.

Iraqi rebels dividing, losing support Fallujah is now emerging as a symbol of the splintering Iraqi resistance. The mutilation of six Shiites widens the divide.

Democrats and other traitors will blame President Bush for this. It is his fault the Iraqi terrorists are losing support.
