Al Qaeda in Iraq in Trouble

Seem to be quarreling, as Bill Roggio details:

Al Arabiya television has aired a videotape of a member of al-Qaeda in Iraq denouncing the organization's current leadership, singling out Abu Ayyub al-Masri for undertaking "'unjustified violations' such as the killing of prominent sheikhs in Iraq," according to Reuters. The jihadi's nom de guerre is Abu Osama al-Mujahid, and he is calling for an Iraqi to lead al-Qaeda in Iraq after the death of Abu Musabal-Zarqawi...Al-Mujahid is from the Zarqawi faction, and is lamenting over the Zarqawi faction's loss of power inside al-Qaeda in Iraq. He is appealing to the leadership of al-Qaeda by projecting two of Attyia and Zawahiri's criticisms of Zarqawi onto al-Masri. First, the the accusation that al-Masri has been assassinating tribal sheikhs and other jihadi groups is an attempt to show al-Masri has not moderated his behavior. "They also killed leaders from other factions who the Crusaders offered bounties worth hundreds of thousands of dollars so as to either arrest or kill them," said Al-Mujahid.

Meanwhile, advocates of cut and run claim there is no hope in Iraq.
