Hey, BBC.
'Angry and grieving mourners carried Abu Risha's body to a local cemetery in Ramadi, capital of the western desert province, in a procession amid tight security by Iraqi and US forces.
"Revenge on Al-Qaeda," mourners shouted. "There is no God but God, and Al-Qaeda is the enemy of Allah. Abdel-Sattar is the pride of Ramadi."'
What was that crap about Abdel-Sattar Abu Risha's death being a disaster for America and a huge setback for their efforts to get the Sunni Arabs to fight Al-Q? Kill one, make deadly enemies of thousands. That's not a winning tactic. The Anbar Awakening, indeed all the Sunni Arab tribal cohorts, are now committed enemies of Al-Qaeda. They are not going away, no matter how much the BBC's collection of old hippies wish they would. The Sunni have been ruling Iraq for many generations- they aren't stupid and they aren't suicidal, and thats why they know they have to cooperate with both the Americans and the Shia government.
