BAQUBA, Iraq — Members of United States-allied Awakening Councils have
quit or been dismissed from their positions in significant numbers in
recent months, prey to an intensive recruitment campaign by the Sunni
insurgency, according to government officials, current and former
members of the Awakening and insurgents.

Although there are no firm figures, security and political officials say
hundreds of the well-disciplined fighters — many of whom have gained
extensive knowledge about the American military — appear to have
rejoined Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. Beyond that, officials say that even
many of the Awakening fighters still on the Iraqi government payroll,
possibly thousands of them, covertly aid the insurgency.

As predicted...

We are hiring the Taliban to guard our bases in Afghanistan too.
(maybe more like we pay protection money)

More and more, our involvement in Iraq is coming to naught, despite the
lost American lives and lost American treasure. And, of course, the same
is happening and will happen in Afghanistan.

This with the first 9 crusades. We will never learn I guess.

Obama is a very slow learner!
