Insurgents not happy with AlQ

Insurgents not happy with AlQ 2017-03-16T17:18:14+00:00

This is pretty good news – seems the Iraqi insurgents are not a happy crew. US forces have intercepted a letter from Mosul area to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and it’s full of complaints against their leadership. Among other things, they complain of feeling “marginalized.”

Huh? The press keeps telling us they are the heart and soul of the Iraqi people, who want American occupiers OUT!

Ed Morrissey writes:

Marginalization? I thought that the press considered this a fight against occupation? We have heard over and over again that our presence in Iraq causes all the violence, that the Iraqis have run out of patience with our troops remaining in their country, and that they support Zarqawi’s goal of pushing us out. Sayd, who appears to be much closer to the issue, notes that his terrorists face marginalization and a dire shortage of shelter.

That hardly sounds like the kind of situation the media has described for us in Iraq. It does, however, sound exactly like what Donald Rumsfeld and soldiers on the ground have described for two years now.
