Now you are starting to read in the Arabic press (even in the press that is funded by Saudi Arabia which funds the revival councils--those criminal gangs are to revival what mini-Hariri is to nuclear physics, and they supported Saddam, and then Bin Laden, and now Bush) about the criminality and thuggery of the revival councils in Iraq, while the Western press is busy celebrating the "surge." Al-Hayat (mouthpiece of Prince Khalid bin Sultan) quotes a leader of one of the revival brigades (in the Taqi area north of Baghdad) as confirming that the "majority of the members" of his brigade are--ARA--members of Saddam's Ba`th.
