Tribal leaders in Husaybah are attacking followers of Abu Musab Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born terrorist who established the town as an entry point for al-Qa'eda jihadists being smuggled into the country.
The reason, the US military believes, is frustration at the heavy-handed approach of the foreigners, who have kidnapped and assassinated local leaders and imposed a strict Islamic code.
Fighting, which could be clearly heard at night over the weekend, first broke out in May when as many as 50 mortar rounds were fired across the city. But, to the surprise of the American garrison, this time it was not the target.
If a shell landed near the US base, "they'd adjust their fire and not shoot at us", Lt Col Tim Mundy said. "They shot at each other."
There is one thing that eventually proves inevitable with groups of disparate murdering criminals, sooner or later they step on each others toes.

Let 'em kill each other and let Allah sort 'em out.

Dissention among Michael Moore's Minutemen? How ironic. Actually, this is no surprise to me, as I have a better general knowledge of Arabs than the average American. The media portrays them as "freedom fighters", "insurgents", or "rebels"; appelations which they've given to various fascist murderers over the years, but the truth is that they are nothing more than members of organized crime gangs who are fighting for control of territory.
Regardless of ideology used to attract donations and gullible young men to serve as cannon fodder, jihad is nothing more or less than gang warfare as practiced amond savages the world over; case in point, the Latino MS13 gang is now known to be cooperating with Islamofascist groups to help them with smuggling guns and terrorists into the country, for a price, of course.
Many people have repeated that "real" Muslims don't support terrorism, but the fact is that while the majority of Muslims around the world are generally peaceful people, (though far from civilized by our standards), due to the dogmatic ideologies of Islam, they are compelled to support terrorists because of the control that extremist clergy have over most Muslims, control that is backed by firepower. Extremists have perpetrated a coup to take over worldwide Islam, and they have succeeded.
It would be bad enough if we were just fighting well-organized, well-trained, well-financed criminals and religious fanatics, but the vast bulk of the worldwide media has thrown in with them, along with the entire international leftist-fascist-communist movement, and rougly half of the civilized world is ready to offer whatever terms of peace, up to and including total surrender, the terrorists demand, regardless of the costs. As in most other such cases historically speaking, the hope of freedom for everyone lies with a small minority while the remainder either decline to support them, or actively side with the enemy. When this is over, there will be a heavy reckoning, if anyone survives.

The screws are missing, the shielding has fallen off, the core is exposed, and the control rods are out to lunch. Runaway reaction is imminent. Please observe Minimum Safe Distance Protocol. Have a nice day.
So how's Italy greg? Did you pay your respects at Mussolini's tomb yet?
