THESE ARE COMMENTS made about CNN Progress Report regarding Iraq. It is plan to see that the Sunnis are employing the services of al Qaeda to defeat the Shi'ite majority government. It wasn't the Shi'ites idea to fight the American occupation in the beginning. They were just as pleased as the Kurds to be rid of Saddam.

The opening segment was by Nic Robertson (click on) who ventured out into Iraq to find the Insurgents. The people the USA call insurgents call themselves resistance fighters. That is how I will refer to them here. They are very sane people who have contemplated this resistance and practiced for it since before the invasion.

They have names such as Abu Omar and Abu Mohammad. These names were alias. The actual Arabic understanding of the name of "Abu" is to indictate it is a false identity. Abu also means father. The General of these fighters showed pictures of himself as an officer in the Iraqi Army before the removal of Saddam from leadership in Iraq. According to the report by Nic, which is more accurate than anyone else I know at CNN besides perhaps Christiana Amanpour these men are in complete control of their situation. They can turn it on or off like a faucet. General Abu Omar was in charge of 20% of the resistance fighters but stated he influenced 80%. He stated they all have plans of stopping but they just aren't sure exactly when they will stop.

The good General stated he was aware of the presence of al Qaeda and the forces there that operated in Baghdad but they only came to support the Iraqi resistance and would stay to the end of the struggle. Got that? Al Qaeda is not interested in undermining the Islamic people of Iraq but only the Americans and their coalition, hence, Blair is again right in that the policies of Iraq are playing out in London through al Qaeda's support to the resistance efforts.
