This weekend, the New York Times lead with the attempt by the U.S. government to try to get insurgents into the system:
"The diplomat said the goal was to take advantage of rifts in the insurgency, particularly between local groups, whose main goal is to expel American forces, and the more radical groups, like Al Qaeda, which have alienated many Iraqis by the mass killing of Iraqi civilians."
I am surprised at this move. I am surprised because it is actually a smart one. Although there will be strife over the "democratization" issue, still, this is a very calculated move.
Maybe having a Democrat (Lieberman) hanging around the White House has done them some good.
