Insurgents band together...

And tell us to get our troops the fuck out of their country....

8 of the 10 main insurgent groups have banded together and approached the new Iraqi government with a proposal.  If the US and Iraqi governments can come up with a 2-yr timetable for the withdrawal of coalition(I have to put this because it's not just US troops...yet)troops from Iraq, then the insurgents will stop their devastating attacks.

Now, I know this sort of falls under the parley of not negotiating with terrorists, but hypothetically, if we were to agree to this, we would have 2 years to clean things up before getting our troops back home.  And hey, if they go back on their word and resume their attacks and suicide bombs, we can say, "DEAL'S OFF!"  In my mind, it's a win-win.

Some may say that there are still 2 groups that are not agreeing to this, but I think if the other 8 groups are serious, they will either convince the stragglers or do what they can to keep the agreement.

I know I'm being idealistic here, but even if it's partially possible, I think we should try to meet them half-way...it keeps iraqi and military deaths to a minimum and gives our troops and their families at home something to look forward to...just a thought...
