#2  Reports in the mainstream media ( i havent seen the WaPo article that started this) indicate Allawi is trying to divide the insurgents, not make a wholesale surrender to them. Will await further info.

#1  The animals who are part of this guerilla action are Islamists first. They aren't Iraqis or Iranians or Syrians. As Islamists they want Americans out and Sharia in.
Seems pretty simple to me, tell them No. And when the inveitable murderous temper tantrum happens, kill them. Problem solved.
Negotiating with the death cult never works.

This struck me:
Allawi said he asked them what would happen if U.S.-led forces abruptly left Iraq. He said they replied with one word: catastrophe.
Maybe somebody should tell Lurch, it might be news to him.
