U.S. officers say a growing number of Sunni tribes are turning against
al-Qaida, repelled by the terror group's sheer brutality and austere religious
extremism. The tribes are competing with al-Qaida for influence and control over
diminishing territory in the face of U.S. assaults, the officers say. The influx
of Sunni fighters to areas outside the capital in advance of the security
crackdown in Baghdad may have further unsettled the region.
It looks like the "surge" may at least get the insurgents out of Baghdad so we can battle them a little better. Oh well, it looks like the country will be sacrificed by June if the Dems get their way and attack the supply lines of the US forces.
