Iraqis Striking Back, The Rise of the Awakening Councils Options

[Hellfighter]

I thought I'd bring this topic up as a thread unto itself since it is of significance and very pivotol in the war on terror.
Along with the success of the latest Surge through the General Petraeus effective advance/consolidate strategy, the formerly enemy Sunni militant groups are now siding openly with the Coalition forces to eradicate al quaeda+ their supporters and other 'hostile' iraqi militias.

These groups are banding together in an alliance known as 'the Awakening Councils'. And they're paying the price. Leaders of these new freedom fighters are being assasinated on a regular basis lately.

Of course it's nothing new seeing Iraqis sacrificing themselves during this war for a better liberated lifestyle -notably amongst police/army recruits risking getting blown up when signing up for service, but as in the link below, Iraqis are reinforcing the message that in spite of the common flakey claims of jihadists that those in the free world are afraid to die for what they and their loved ones live for, the reality is otherwise - [these jihadists must be illiterate if they can't read about how many millions died fighting against Fascists in ww2 ].

Next link tells briefly of 3 heroic Iraqi soldiers who should be remembered for their doomed sacrifice.
