The sunni eventually must wake up and see their truly hopeless military position. They are effectively between the shia and AQ and pi**ing into the wind against the Americans.
One does not mess with the AQ. It is their way or the highway. Loss of the sunni to their cause would be devastating, thus harsh measures to any dissenter. Listen carefully to my bombs exploding in your midst, says the AQ, and get back on the train, NOW!
I think the AQ is dreaming here, though. The sunni/bathists/saddamites are facing the hard reality that the Americans are not going away, much to the displeasure of the AQ leqadership by the way, and maybe there is a better way to maintain some power in a new government rather than just be dead insurgents. Of course they must also face the wrath of the Syrians and the Iraqi insurgent leadership in Syria (money men)if they come over to the other side.
Keep your eye on this situation. Bill Roggio is a good place to monitor. Do not expect anything from the MSM that might reflect a glimmer of progress.
