Iraqi Insurgents Seek Talks With US

DUBAI, 5 July 2005 — "A newly named spokesman for two Iraqi insurgent groups yesterday asked the US Congress to make an “official” offer for negotiations with Washington, according to an interview broadcast on Al-Jazeera television. “We will accept nothing but an official initiative from the US Congress with a precise timetable and a binding decision. Let this be clear,” Ibrahim Yusef Al-Shammari said, speaking on behalf of the Islamic Army in Iraq and the Army of the Mujahedeen. Rolling Eyes

Sound familar?

A precise timetable?????? Only from the Congress?

Seems the insurgents have studied General Vo Ngyuen Giap well. When you are losing, run to the likes of sKerry, Durbin, Kennedy and such and "negotiate" a victory. Evil or Very Mad

You guys nailed it!

The insurgents ARE in a quagmire and they're turning to the same damn tactics as they did 30 years ago. Evil or Very Mad

Blow the SOB's off the face of the earth. Our President's got it right - "NO NEGOTIATION with terrorists!"

This is a typical ploy by terrorists with their back to the wall.

The Philippine government has negotiated with Islamic terrorists for over 50 years and what has it gained them? A lot more terrorists, kidnappings and beheadings.

The United States government does not negotiate with terrorists and what has it gained for us? Respect from our enemy.

The Islamic radical knows there are only two Nations on God's Earth who will have the resolve to hunt them down and kill them; Israel and the USA. To even consider negotiating with these vermin soils the honor of those who lost their lives in this battle to protect our way of life.

The greatest sign you are making progress in a war is when the enemy begins to lose the will and capacity to fight. Desperation has set in when the only offensive operations you can launch are harassment forays with IEDs against the civilian population. Our troops are gaining ground each day and keeping the enemy on the run or killing them.

The Iraqi people are emerging from their Saddam induced coma and providing information against these radical pigs everyday. The new Iraqi Army and Security Forces are in the fight and dying in numbers far larger than ours, to realize the dream of a free Iraq. They are the Patriots of Iraq who will be revered by future generations.

It takes more than money to sign up for the Iraqi Army or Security Forces these days. These are the Minutemen of their Bunker Hill, or the troops at their Valley Forge who are fighting for the creation of a Nation. They have earned my respect for their display of courage fighting the good fight and dying for an idea of a free and democratic Iraq.

Cool

What splinter of terrorists do you negotiate with? Will all the other splinters go along with what the one splinter agrees to? What is there to negotiate? It seems pretty cut and dry, if you stay out of the way of Iraq establishing a representative government you will not get shot at.

'negotiating' may work. Our Diplomats are much savier and capable than these savages. We never negotiate with terrorists over the release of hostages, but 'talks' to come to an agreeement that would initiate a cease fire have already been attempted by our side for quite some time.
