. . . security and political officials say hundreds of the well-disciplined fighters — many of whom have gained extensive knowledge about the American military — appear to have rejoined Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. Beyond that, officials say that even many of the Awakening fighters still on the Iraqi government payroll, possibly thousands of them, covertly aid the insurgency.

Is Iraq being hung out to dry?

This group who was crucial in ending the sectarian violence and putting Al-Qaeda on the run in their provinces during the US surge of 2007 appear to feel they have been slighted by the US and the Iraqi government. Many of them fought alongside their Iraqi and US counterparts learning tactics and manuevers in the past. Now, it seems they are moonlighting as insurgents by night and loyalists to the government by day. Furthermore, it seems the rift has risen over nonpayment by the Iraqi government, paltry payment, lack of employment opportunities in the Iraqi security forces, and concern about their fates when the new Iraqi government convenes.

This development can only make the teetering security situation worse and could pose added threats to the remaining 50,000 US military in country serving as advisors to the Iraqi security services. There is nothing worse than a bunch of disgruntled employees with guns and a vendetta over unpaid wages, lack of support, and ungrateful government. Let the escalation continue. As I have been saying for the longest, Iraq is in far worse shape than what the world and the American people are being led to believe by the MSM and US government.

Ugh, I find this Muslim vs West thing so scary now. 9/11 probably had nothing to do with Muslims, but the NWO have pit the whole Islamic world against the whole West, and now a third world war seems almost inevitable.

what Iraq government? don't we screw just about every ally once they've achieved are goals. its the western way! and as always it will come back to bite us.

This was why Bush swore "never to leave until the job is done".... We all knew this would happen.
Although I believe the majority, of course, stand united with their countries people and will do what is right.
