The Result of Being A “Strong Horse”

J.J. Jackson* | June 28, 2006

In a region of the world where loyalties run towards the strong we continue to see the benefits of not showing signs of leaving Iraq before the enemy is soundly defeated.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 26 ? Several Sunni-led insurgent groups have approached the Iraqi government to try to start negotiations after the Iraqi prime minister’s presentation on Sunday of a limited plan for reconciliation, a senior legislator from the prime minister’s party said Monday.

The groups have made no demands yet, but wanted to express their views to top government officials, said the legislator, Hassan al-Suneid. “There are signals” from “some armed groups to sit at the negotiating table,” said Mr. Suneid, who, like the prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, belongs to the Islamic Dawa Party, a conservative Shiite group.

The groups, made up of Iraqi nationalist fighters, have floated their proposal through Sunni Arab negotiators, Mr. Suneid said in a telephone interview. Although he described the groups as armed, he said they “are not implicated in the bloodletting of Iraqis.” - New York Times

If you think for one minute that this would be happening if they did not see the new Iraqi government as strong and our commitment to the Iraqi people as firm then you have got another think coming.

Right now they are trying to escape this war with the skin on their backs and their heads still attached.
