Divide within Iraq's Baath Party

Saddam's old supporters are imploding, according to the LA Times:

Iraq's Baath Party, once the machine of Saddam Hussein's
tyrannical rule and now a key player in the country's civil war, has been
divided by an internal power struggle pitting one of Hussein's top aides against
a former general, U.S. and Iraqi government officials say.U.S. military and
intelligence officials are still debating whether to welcome the power struggle
or fear it. But they agree the outcome could strongly influence the course of
the Sunni-led insurgency against Iraq's U.S.-backed government.

On one side of the power struggle is Izzat Ibrahim, the
highest-ranking member of Hussein's inner circle to evade capture. The king of
clubs in the Bush administration's "deck of cards" that depicted the most wanted
members of Hussein's regime, Ibrahim was Hussein's chief deputy and has been
viewed as a ringleader in the insurgency.The forces apparently seeking to oust
Ibrahim from his leadership of the Baath movement are led by a former general in
Hussein's army, Mohammed Yunis Ahmad.

I have no doubt this is good news. As long as they are fighting each other, they aren't fighting America and the Coalition.
