Iraqi resistance vs the CIA's Al-Qaida operations

Iraqi resistance vs the CIA's Al-Qaida operations
On this blog I have reiterated two things:

1) The Iraqi Resistance is NOT Al-Qaida and therefore could not be branded and labeled in the thick brush of "insurgency".

2) The Iraqi Resistance has been fighting ongoing ideological and military battles with Al-Qaida since October 2004.

When Al-Qaida and its head criminal first surfaced in Iraq, Iraqis quickly said it was an effort to undermine the legitimacy of the Iraqi Resistance. Iraqis attributed this to a foreign effort, an effort funded and organized outside Iraq. Some said it was the CIA, some said the US military.

When Al-Qaida began killing Shia and soon thereafter Sunnis, Iraqis realised that this foreign outfit was not really out to liberate Iraq.

Tasfiya - one Iraqi put it to me in an Arab Gulf country last year. Eradication, settling of scores and lives. No more Iraqis. No more threat to Kuwait. To Saudi Arabia, to Israel, the list goes on.

Then, Al Qaida increased its attacks on Shia, calling them apostates - something no Iraqi has ever done. Or will ever do.

The Al Azhar University in Cairo, the leading Sunni establishment of Islamic jurisprudence for the past 1000 years has never called the Shia apostates.

How can this rogue group of murderers say it is fighting for the honor of Iraqis, when it knows nothing of Iraqi traditions.

Arabs, disenchanted with the corruption and debauchery in their own Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Libya, Jordan decided it was a good idea to wage Jihad in Iraq.

Because someone in the pay of someone else told them so.

They became holier-than-thous not holy warriors. They killed our women and children with never a hint of remorse.

They took credit for attacks on US soldiers that all Iraqis know they never launched.

But Iraqis, are not stupid. Well, okay, some of the bloggers are, but Iraqis of my father's generation, the ones who built this country in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and endured the purges of the Baathists, the anti-Baathists, and then the Baathists again - those Iraqis decided the situation could not go on.

So, as early as last year, the Iraqi resistance sent out fliers and memos, some by way of email, that they would not harm Iraqi civilians and that such actions have never been part of their agenda.

They also vowed not to attack Iraqis on 30 January, that day of voting, but this went unreported.

Now, everything is out in the open, according to this New York Times article.
But the split within the insurgency is coinciding with Sunni Arabs' new desire to participate in Iraq's political process, and a growing resentment of the militants. Iraqis are increasingly saying that they regard Al Qaeda as a foreign-led force, whose extreme religious goals and desires for sectarian war against Iraq's Shiite majority override Iraqi tribal and nationalist traditions.
Error. It is not a split, because Iraqis were never part of the Al Qaida ideal.

Not when the towers fell in NYC, not after, and not now.

When the US invaded and opened the door for every murderer and zealot to come into Iraq, the Iraqi Resistance was formed to oust the foreign invader. The same in France. The same in Russia. The same in Vietnam.

This is the history of mankind. Come into my house irrespective of whatever lie you use to justify your action, and you will be met with a reaction.

When Zarqawi arrived on the spot and said he would oust the Americans, Iraqis of course welcomed that someone would take up their cause as well.

But Zarqawi, the strategy, not the man, because no such man exists, was never about ousting the foreign horde. It was about gaining the trust of the Iraqi people before turning its guns on them, sowing dissent between families, tribes.

Dissent the diaperheads in Iran could utilize to their gain. Dissent the US could point to and say, we are preventing a civil war.

And when the Iraqi Resistance continued its successful campaigns, Zarqawi's anti-Iraqi, anti-Shia rhetoric grew, almost as if to signal who Zarqawi (the strategy, not the man) was funded by.

Then the Zarqawi strategy became to create a civil war. But Iraqis weren't buying. Oh, the Badrists and the SCIRIsts were, because Mama Iran wanted them to.

But normal Iraqis. No.

So, now, maybe, just maybe, those who speak so openly of insurgency this and fighters that can start to believe what the Iraqi Resistance is after and what the foreign funded Al Qaida is after.

In any case, the pathetic cowardly Arab mercenaries are no match for the Iraqis.

They will chase them out and then return to chasing out the other foreign horde.
