Al-Qaeda Loses an Iraqi Friend
By BOBBY GHOSH/BAGHDAD

Al-Qaeda has lost its most powerful friend in Iraq: Harith al-Dari, the country's most influential Sunni cleric and a prominent anti-American figure, has rejected al-Qaeda's vision of an Islamic state, telling TIME that Iraqis "will not accept such a system." In a sharp departure from his long-standing view of the terror group, al-Dari now says al-Qaeda has "gone too far." He also repudiates recent statements on Iraq by Osama bin Laden's deputy, saying: "Ayman al-Zawahiri doesn't represent Iraqis."

But al-Dari's change of heart on al-Qaeda is not necessarily good news for the Bush Administration. The Sunni cleric remains an implacable foe of the U.S. occupation, and of the Shi'ite-led Iraqi government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. He is dismissive of the "surge" in Baghdad, insisting that no solution to Iraq's problems is possible while American troops remain — and rejects as "insincere and meaningless" al-Maliki's efforts to reach out to the Sunnis.

I knew this would make the liberals very sad.

Why don't you post the US troop death toll? That'll cheer you up.

I was just wondering because I've noticed that too, but far be it from me to really know that. And that is why I asked the question that you actually answered unlike some other posters.

Not to worry I had a question and it was answered I felt you weren't sticking to the thread and I was right.

is that kinda like evading a question by asking what jihad means?

does that statement even make mathmatical sense to you?


again.. perhaps if youd apply as much to RSR....


naaaa... team loyalty, eh?

Why not stay on topic. I've been nice to you and I haven't berated you so get with the program already. We all knew the US military was going to be a factor in the thread but the points were a cleric said he would be against a al qaeda style government.

He is a liberal troll who cannot compete in a debate

At least MM attempts to stay on topic

yes, a cleric that ALSO says that RSR's solution to Iraq is just as unnaccptable.

did you want to let me know why you dont mind criticising me for trolling the thread but will totally ignore RSR doing the same thing?


are my sweeping generalizations not broad enough?
