Hopes of an Iraqi Endgame

Over at Normblog, there is a very useful link with an article from Time Magazine entitled Talking with the Enemy, Inside the secret dialogue between the U.S. and insurgents in Iraq—and what the rebels say they want. One leader says to his US interlocutors that "We are ready to work with you." Whilst this article from Newsweek analyses the nature of the groups that form the "resistance." It says that its "investigation shows that long before U.S. and other Coalition troops blasted across the border into Iraq on March 20, 2003, Saddam had put aside hundreds of millions of dollars (some sources claim billions) and enormous weapons caches to support a guerrilla war."
