It might be a lie too.

Thx for the article though.

I'm still waiting for a division between Al-Qaeda and Democrats.

Anyone notice something about this report besides me?

Our intelligence agencies and the Senate told us that the Al Qaeda and Baath party would never work together because of one being religious and the other secular.

I’ve been reading reports of those two groups working together ever since the invasion in 2003 and yet, as late as a month ago, people was still making that claim that they will never work together. This is only further proof of the lie we are being told to push the idea that Saddam would not and could not work with the Al Qaeda.

Insurgent leaders and Sunni Arab politicians say divisions between insurgent groups and Al-Qaeda in Iraq have widened and have led to combat in some areas of the country, a schism that U.S. officials hope to exploit.

Maybe Jimmy Carter can go over and broker a peace between the warring factions? /sarc

A lot of these divisions are likely nothing more than interpersonal rivalries. With a lot of the more seasoned senior leadership missing, locals have stepped in to fill the vaccuum. As opposed to the foriegn leaders, the locals have very specific ideas and feelings on how Iraq should be run, and are far more prone to disagree over tactics and objectives. This will lead to increasingly sharp divisions, as AQIs harsher methods don't play well with most locals. 1920s may be willing to stomach a lot to get us kicked out, but they have limits to their patience, and they're starting to show.
