#1 Most Sunni Arabs still want Americans out of the country, not because the Americans are âevil occupiers,â but because U.S. troops are interfering with Sunni Arab efforts to regain control of the country, and the oil money. But more and more Sunni Arab leaders are now taking the longer view. Wait out the Americans, who they admit cannot be beaten, and are not going to be forced out. But eventually the Americans will leave, and then the Sunni Arabs will, well, they have a planâ¦

Yep, we'll leave. And if history is any indication of when that will be, check with the Germans, the Japanese, the S.Koreans. Now we will quit faster than that if you were French, though in that case we did abandon our war dead who still reside in cemetaries across their country. However, don't worry, you can act just like the French too when the immedate threat is no longer at your throat.

#2 An interesting turn of events is that the only thing the bad boyz have in quantity any more is hot bodies. Increasingly strained for equipment, explosives and money, they are more than willing to sacrifice the stupid to "the cause". In fact, they may be intentionally culling them, as they are expensive to maintain.
