Six Iraqi insurgent groups announce formation of a "political council" to liberate Iraq

The Associated Press

10/11/07 "AP" -- -- - Six main Iraqi insurgent groups announced the formation of a "political council" aimed at "liberating" Iraq from U.S. occupation in a video aired Thursday on the Arab TV station Al-Jazeera.

The council appeared to be a new attempt to organize and assert the leadership of the multiple insurgent groups, which have moved to distance themselves from another coalition of insurgent factions led by al-Qaida in Iraq.

In the video aired on Al-Jazeera, a man identified as the council's spokesman — wearing traditional Iraqi garb and his face blacked out — announced the council's formation and a "political program to liberate Iraq."

He said the program was based on two principles.

"First, the occupation is an oppression and aggression, rejected by Islamic Sharia law and tradition. Resistance of occupation is a right guaranteed by all religions and laws," he said.

"Second, the armed resistance ... is the legitimate representative of Iraq. It is the one that bears responsibility for the leadership of the people to achieve its legitimate hopes," he said.

2. Oh, this is bad

they're starting to talk to each other. If they get along well enough, they might form the nucleus of a rebel government that could replace our puppet one.

Expect Bush and Cheney to go berserk soon and do something messy in Iraq- that oil law isn't worth squat if these guys push our puppets out.
