Divide And Conquer

We're starting to see real progress in Iraq, and we've even seen rival insurgent factions warring with one another. While it's great to see the locals rise up against Al-Qaeda, it's worth noting that if they are fighting to clear their own streets of bad guys, we can focus on other areas and clean up Iraq quicker then normal. However, it's an uneasy partnership.

"After we are done with al Qaeda," Abu Ali says, "we will ask the Americans to withdraw from Iraq. ... If they do not withdraw, there will be violations and the American army will be harmed."He adds, "Especially after the help the U.S. Army has provided us, we would like them to go home as our friend, not enemy."

As soon as Iraq is able to stand on it's own, we'd be happy to leave Ali. Maybe you can help out more then you know.
