#1 Sounds like he is threatening a Sunni on Sunni civil war.

#2 One can only hope that these two are that stupid : initiate a Sunni civil war, while at the same time attacking the Shia/Kurdish government troops. Won't be a lot of the Triangle Arabs left at this rate.

#3 Sounds like the usual Arab trick of
(a) Starting a war.
(b) Loosing a war.
(c) Trying to impose conditions on the victors.
Good luck Sunnis. As soon as US troops withdraw, the Shia will exterminate you.

#5 They'll probably get everything they ask for if they hold out long enough. Nobody in either ours or their govt. has a belly for fighting anymore. Look at ol' Tater, he started out with 2 murder warrants on him and look at him now. If you make yourself a big enough pain in the ass for long enough, your off the hook.

#6 Never thought I'd see the day I'd be rootin' fer Shiites.

#7 He's demanding things he knows are going to happen (Us withdrawal) so that he can save face and take credit for that withdrawal.

The response should be to put his head on a pike for other insurgents to contemplate.
