That's some good news at last: the bad guys in Iraq shoot the crap out of eachother. About time it started. Groups linked to Al-Qaeda were set on by Sunni insurgents and got their backsides kicked. And reports have it that some insurgent groups are actually cooperating with US forces with fighting against Qaedists. (Source: Reuters).
This is another show of the dis-unity of the insurgence and the different souls of Iraqi anti-US fighting. I don't know what the Pentagon strategists are planning, I would recommend a nice "divide and rule" approach. Let the insurgents nail the Qaedists, then have the various rival groups fight until both are too exhausted to oppose any resistance to the US Army. Surely any of these groups, when taken separately, would gladly throw grenades at any vehicle bearing the US flag. Why not let them use those grenades on eachother while watching from a distance munching popcorn?
Once an insurgent always an insurgent, at least don't risk US men when ridding Iraq of that plague. Dividi et Impera: worked for the Romans, will work again.
