#1 Ohm heroic people of Iraq.

Looks like they're trying to talk directly to the resistance.

#2 I am suprised this hasn't generated a storm of comments. Every single person detained at Gitmo is a Sunni. Sunnis by and large fear and loathe the Shiias. This statement brings a whole knew meaning to the term schitzophrenic. It alternates between kill all the unbelievers rhetoric, and we want to be your friends and by the way you need to convert to the Sunni faith first.

This is going bring Shia recruits by the busload (sarcasm off)

#3 phil_b - from what I saw in Saudi, the Sunni are the more mercenary, pragmatice, and organized - thus, far more dangerous. The Shi'a are considered more, uh, wild-eyed and fanatical -- though this was not evidenced in Aramco where they were a cowed minority and very lucky to have jobs. If the Shi'a ever got organized - and I guess this would take some kind of universally accepted ranking of the Mullahfuckahs which has zero likelihood of happening - they'd create more chaos. The Sunnis are the prime source of grief. The Shi'a are just typically ungrateful back-stabbing shitheads... in a mob. :-)
