Iraq's Civil War
Liberals shouldn't get their hopes up. This battle is between Iraq's anti-American insurgents, and their terrorist masters Al Qaeda:
Battles have erupted between local insurgents and al-Qaeda's mainly foreign fighters in several Iraqi towns in the clearest evidence yet of bitter divisions among anti-American forces in Iraq.
Local armed factions and tribal groups have sought to expel al-Qaeda from parts of the rebellious Sunni heartlands, as Iraqis have become increasingly disillusioned with the foreigners' extreme Islamic fundamentalism, murderous tactics and disregard for civilian casualties.
According to one of the accounts gathered by The New York Times, a violent battle erupted in the town of Taji, north of Baghdad, between an al-Qaeda group and the Islamic Army, an Iraqi nationalist group. Abu Lil, the nom de guerre of an Iraqi who fought, described a tense meeting with foreign al-Qaeda fighters when the locals expressed their anger at the civilian death toll. "They said: 'Jihad [holy war] needs its victims. Iraqis should be willing to pay the price'. We said: 'You are not Iraqis. Who gave you the power to do this?' "
Woohoo!!!
