AZZAMAN News- 9/16/08 - In this article about a recently formed US sponsered Sunni militia, Farah al-Shamari (the author) proclaimed that US backed Sunni militias are operating and doing well. The reason? The US is supplying money as well as intelligence. The "awakened" militas have done their job efficiently, and brutally. However, Shiite government officials have jailed some insurgent leaders, and are delaying the installment of a 100,000 strong miltia force in the regular army. Al Qaeda is angered at the Sunni militias and has responded to them with car bombings in Sunni neighborhoods.
Through these excerpts of Farah's writings, I hope to show that he has shown some support for the employed militias.
"Iraqi government which has always viewed their (Sunni militants) training and funding as a threat to it's existence."- The Sunnis are tough.
"Dropped their armed struggle and joined US forces in the fight against terrorism."- Weren't the Sunnis once terrorists? They're good guys now.
"To these Sunni tribal fighters the government and the U.S. owe most of the relative quiet which the country enjoys now."- There's some praise! This is my best point.
