Sunnis turn on old al-Qa'ida allies Ned Parker and Mohaned al-Kubacy September 13, 2006 SUNNI leaders in al-Anbar province, long a bastion of resistance to the American presence in Iraq, are urging the American military to arm tribes against al-Qa'ida, which is viewed as the most powerful force in the area.Mr Samarrai said that leaders from al-Anbar had made several proposals to the Americans, including arming the tribes to fight al-Qa'ida, providing teams of bodyguards for tribal leaders, clerics and politicians who opposed al-Qa'ida and making an intense recruitment push to build an indigenous army and police force.
and what do people living in the center of the administrative district comprising 75% of the land mass in AlAnbar think??
Jay Nordlinger gives us a plug in his latest Impromptu up at National Review Online:
A “milblogger” — a military blogger — alerted me to a new book, The Blog of War, giving us “front-line dispatches from soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.” A cutesy title, but one that had to be hard to resist. I can’t tell you anything about this book, not having seen it. But I can tell you that milbloggers have been invaluable these last several years. We complain about the MSM? Yes, but we don’t have to be hostage to them, either.Thanks, Jay!
