Still having problems with comprehension, eh Teribus?

To pick just one of your innumerable--I'm sorry to say--reasoning flaws:

"The Saudis will support the Sunnis". Uh, I never said they would not. But they will support the non-Al-Qaeda Sunnis--which is the overwhelming majority of Sunnis in Iraq. There are fewer al-Qaeda fans every day-- not because of any supposed success of the "surge" but because of how al-Qaeda treats its fellow Moslems. What do you think the so-called "Awakening" is?

Al-Qaeda will not be the beneficiary of any pro-Sunni feeling on the part of the Saudi regime.

Or perhaps you can come up with evidence that the Saudi government backs al-Qaeda. I can be patient. But good luck--you might possibly have a problem, since such evidence does not exist.

There is a difference--a huge difference between normal Iraqi Sunni citizens and al-Qaeda. That's what you don't seem to understand--though I've been trying to explain it to you for years.

Therefore there is no danger of Iraq being taken over by al-Qaeda. And US combat troops can--and should--leave "rump Iraq".

It's back to the library for you--and don't forget to research how propaganda works.
