They can't print this! That would mean the Americans are winning, that what they are doing is... (gasp) right!

``I was always against these terrorists,'' Sattar said in an interview inside his American-guarded compound, adjusting a pistol holstered around his waist."
don't worry, he'll go back to the other side when the tide changes..they switch sides over there so much it's almost a "who's on first" scenario..

Sattar is secular. I guess you don't just hate Muslims.

They have some good reason for not trusting todays muslims given the apparent inability for muslims to form a liberal democracy.

Distrust is one thing, but hating all of them is another. It's counter productive for starters.

Thats crap. Sattar and many Iraqis believe in Iraqi democracy far more then most people in America it seems.
Shiek Sattar: "The time for dictatorship is gone, and we are welcoming the new dawn of democracy and freedom here. I expect the future to be much better for the next generation for they will live in a better world than we do today."

I trust shiek Sattar more then I do the Maliki government. He was criticising the terrorists in Fallujah in 2004 when Maliki was criticising the coalition attack on Fallujah.

I wish them well. By this time I'm skeptical although when the war started I thought it was worth trying. I guess I still think it was worth trying.

They used to say "you can't buy an Afghan, but you can rent one."
It is pretty obvious that there are good people who are nominally Muslim, and some bad people who are nominally Christian. Once we can distingusih Dubai from Damascus we can proceed without killing everyone of a billion Muslims.

Sattar paid a heavy price for criticising terrorists in 2004-2006.
"Sattar's father and three brothers were killed by al-Qaida assassins"
By giving Sattar the necessary weapons we could make him the leader of the Sunni community we have been waiting four years for.

I suspect a few of that bunch are actually Islamist provacateurs. If all Muslims are evil, why would we even be fighting in Iraq?
