#1 what goes unmentioned in a lot of these reports is that Abu Risha was only 36, young and well liked. He was strong enough to encourage the fighting generation to cooperate - the same age group Binny and Doc have targetted. This is important to get the 18-35 age group of Muzzies on our side. Really reduces the recruitment center of gravity.

#2 The yahoo story downplays it, but this seems only to have strengthened the resolve of the Sunnis. This quote from the Wash Post version stood out (h/t to The Corner):

"Now, I swear to God, if we will hear anyone is with al-Qaeda, even if he is still inside his mother's womb, we will kill him."

- Ali Hatem Ali Suleiman, a leader of the Dulaim confederation, the largest tribal organization in Iraq's Anbar Province.

#4 "Today we witness the fallacy of the Western civilization importing democracy to Muslims ~~and the renaissance of the Islamic giant,~~"

All fixed.

#6 We can see how Baghdadi intends to honor the "traditional time of forgiveness and confronting one's humanity."

Sometimes the threats and takiyya come so close together it makes your head spin.

#7 According to an NPR report yesterday, one of Mr. Abu Risha's brothers has already stepped up to take his place at the head of the Anbar Awakening. While of course not the same, the courage and commitment are clearly shared -- he willingly puts himself and his family at proved risk of death or worse for what must be a worthwhile cause. Perhaps Iraq is starting to find her Patrick Henrys.

#8 "Now, I swear to God, if we will hear anyone is with al-Qaeda, even if he is still inside his mother's womb, we will kill him."

That's the spirit!
