It is either us or you,’ Iraqi rebels tell U.S.
Azzaman, October 19, 2006

Iraqi rebels are determined to turn the Muslim holy month of Ramadan this year into a turning point in their struggle to defeat the United States.

In interviews with residents and insurgents in violence-ridden areas, particularly in central Iraq, it appears that rebel tactics of turning the holy month into the bloodiest for the occupiers have been ‘a resounding success.’

“We have long queues of people willing to have themselves killed if they guarantee they will take one of the ‘Olooch’ with them,” said and Iraqi man who had spent sometime with a few rebels in a prison.

Stories of U.S. atrocities – mistreatment of prisoners, molesting of females, killing of innocent Iraqis as well as reported rape and murder – are the main topics of conversation almost everywhere in this volatile region.

“There is no way to drive a wedge between us and the resistance. We are all one voice that it is either us or them (U.S.),” said a tribal chieftain, also not willing to reveal his name.
