After all, as he puts it, "I'm sure the Americans will leave after a little while, and there's nothing I achieve by killing them now. I could kill them anytime, anywhere, and so what? In the beginning, the thought was that you could achieve your goal with weapons, but honestly? That investment has shown no return."
"How one Iraqi moved on from terrorism," from USA Today, January 13 (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):
Nadhim Khalil used to fight the U.S. military as a member of al-Qaeda in Iraq.Now, The Washington Post says this 30-year-old may be the most powerful man in Thuluyah, where he works with the U.S. military and advises Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
"I'm sure the Americans will leave after a little while, and there's nothing I achieve by killing them now. I could kill them anytime, anywhere, and so what?" Khalil, also known as Mullah Nadim, tells the paper. "In the beginning, the thought was that you could achieve your goal with weapons, but honestly? That investment has shown no return. That company has shown no profit."
Khalil says he belonged to al-Qaeda in Iraq for about a year. He now runs the regional Sons of Iraq, a Sunni militia...
Well that's comforting.

In short: soak the simpleton stooges for all they're worth, and when they leave it's business as usual. In the end all those precious coalition lives, and unspeakable amounts of money, all for naught. All because key people knew nothing about their enemies.
In short - he is the smart Jihadi type who knows his true goals. Whenever you can't achieve victory through violence, you switch to takkiyah.
This is why this guy is more dangerous than Bin Laden, and this is why Fatah is more dangerous than Hamas.
This is a clear illustration of a "fast Jihadist" morphing into a "slow Jihadist" for political reasons.
America-Khalil's new bend-over buddy. Get real US Army and militia, this guy is no friend. Read his statement, he's using you. Take him out a la taliban. Just claim that some other talibanists must have done it. He's devious but we have to be more devious in dealing with these cretins. Devious subterfuge, not dhimmified politics.
In short - he is the smart Jihadi type who knows his true goals. Whenever you can't achieve victory through violence, you switch to takkiyah.

Well said Antipras, you took the words right out of my mouth!
"I'm sure the Americans will leave after a little while, and there's nothing I achieve by killing them now. I could kill them anytime, anywhere, and so what?" Khalil, also known as Mullah Nadim.
You know, Khalil ol' buddy, we could do the same to you. But you know, there's even less money in it for us. I mean, be real, cowardly jihadis (is there any other kind) are pretty much a dime a dozen. Now if you really wanted to make some money, you could arrange a meeting with Osama Bin Laden's corpse and American authorities. Talk about your big paydays!
"He [Nadhim Khalil] now runs the regional Sons of Iraq, a Sunni militia..."
-- from the article above
Of course the money -- from the Americans -- is good, and as soon as they leave, if the Rafidite dogs now in control in Baghdad do not give the "Sons of Iraq" what they think they deserve, it's back to blowing-up the Shi'a. And why not? And what do we care if they do, and if the Shi'a, in turn, do what they can to destroy the Sunnis? And what do we care, furthermore, if any Sunni-Shi'a disturbances inside Iraq lead to money, weapons, and volunteers pouring in from co-religionists outside? The Americans have done everything they can to prevent this from happening, but that is because American policy is based on ignorance, rather than knowledge, of Islam. Once those who make policy acquire a sufficient knowledge, and begin to connect the dots (the dots, say, from the Biafra War, to the southern Sudan, all the way to southern Thailand, and the Moluccas, and southern Philippines) that, when fully connected, depict the full geographic range, of the various types of Muslim threats to Infidel nation-states, across borders (as with Israel and India), or from within those Infidel nation-states (see Thailand, see the Philippines, see most of the countries of Western Europe), or simply against non-Muslims in countries where Islam already dominates, and Muslims rule (see Egypt, see Iraq, see Pakistan, see Indonesia, see Algeria, see see see), then it will be understood that the correct policy, both in Iraq and in Afghanistan, is that which exploits the pre-existing fissures within the Camp of Islam that present themselves, exploits most readily by doing nothing to prevent or narrow those fissures.
"I'm sure the Americans will leave after a little while, and there's nothing I achieve by killing them now. I could kill them anytime, anywhere, and so what?" Khalil, also known as Mullah Nadim, tells the paper. "In the beginning, the thought was that you could achieve your goal with weapons, but honestly? That investment has shown no return.

Oh, Boy! Look, it's a Muslim who's turned away from "extremism". We *are* winning hearts and minds. Iraq will be a model democracy in no time!

We should have stayed and tied our exit to poltiical progress. As result of the failure to do so the SHARIA LAW is here attempting to disguise itself under the banner of fairness doctrine because they think Americans are too stupid to look further than the title or research before voting on something.
This SHARIA LAW is the same sharia law that Obama in 2006 went to Kenya to attempt to use to safe-haven terrorists to keep them from being tried for crimes and terrorist activities committed towards non-muslims.
As a result of our NOT tying our exit to political progress the U NATION voted to accept SHARIA LAW and it's no longer safe for American's to travel anywhere's. Because under SHARIA LAW says that it's punishible by death to anyone whom claims that muslim/islam/sharia law murders rapes and crimes are bad.
AS a result of our NOT tying our exit to political progress Pakistan is now SHARIA LAW 24 hours after the U NATIONS accepted the "sharia law' under the Mislabeling of "fairness doctrine"---30 christian families were kicked out of their homes, land and possessions. why?
Because SHARIA LAW states that muslims are
"superior" (yep it says superior about it) and therefore, exempt from
prosecution for any and all crimes committed towards NON-muslims
because NON-muslims have no rights, no freedoms, no money, no homes,
no land and no possessions. (yep it's stated in koran)
Therefore, under the SHARIA LAW non-muslims are to be 'destitute" "servants" to muslims.
If SHARIA LAW or the so-called fairness doctrine were to pass here and in banking industry it would be the SAME thing to all USA families would wake up to find they have NO home, NO land, NO possessions, NO money.
SHARIA LAW is a communist,globalist, marxist, facist, socialist existence.
SAME old HITLER horse only a different "label". Talk about a holocaust of a different variety only now they have 'targeted' not only jews, but non-muslims of USA AND THE WORLD.
The USA is about to get a 'heavy dose" of reality when Bush's 2 tax laws lapse and the Capitol gains tax increases and DEATH TAX increases.
HR 219 THIS WILL SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY---but guess why PUBLIC hasn't heard about it?? Because DEMS don't want anyone to know that this bill will for DECADES to come SECURE SOCIAL SECURITY for the PUBLIC how?
1. Creates enough SURPLUS to pay all SOC SEC benefits for decades to come
2.Keeps politicians from cutting PRESENTSOC SEC benefits
3. keeps politicians from raising taxes.The lobby groups put out the info yesterday and that DEMS don't want anyone to know because then politicians would have to stop using the SOC SEC for pork projects
HR 219 is in need of PUBLIC support for it to pass. The lobbyists RIGHT NOW are in the works to get SOC SEC and MEDICARE saved but the PUBLIC needs to support it because the DEMS don't want anyone to know. Why?? Because it would NOT allow politicians to use it for PORK purposes.
THIS HR219 would SAVE SOC SEC once and for all time and WITHOUT cutting benefits or raising taxes.
However, the word on the WASH DC media ways is that the DEMS don't "want" the PUBLIC to know about it because HR 219 would make it impossible for politicians to TOUCH SOC SEC for anything pork. They would rather scare the public by claiming taxes are needful to be raised or cutting benefits and CLAIM American's are "selfish for not wanting to pay more taxes" RATHER than refrain from using SOC SEC for pork purposes. They want to bankrupt this nation by bailing out the business BUT when it comes to HELPING the PUBLIC out they don't want to.
The WASH DC word is unless the PUBLIC finds out about it and makes a huge voice to WASH DC to force them to pass HR 219 they won't WANT to do it.
It's important that WE THE PEOPLE make it clear any legislator whom doesn't vote FOR HR219 goes by way of Blagovich.
PEOPLE if HR 219 doesn't pass this nation will be bankrupt. Go see how you can help at the --Christian Senior Assoc--site.
So, feel free to cut paste print and re-print and comment.
I bet we have a bunch of these guys on the payroll. I bet we gave a bunch of Al Qaeda members cushy jobs in Iraq. Bremmer dismantled the Guard and plucked many of his recruits from Al Qaeda. This shouldn't be surprising. At least he's semi-honest. Honestly, I find the Somali refugee scam and the Sharia-state student visa racket far more disturbing than this.
Sassy,
You asked for comments. What you write is interesting and valuable, but please lay off the caps.
