BUB: Mideast Headlines

The Iraqi fighters who led the US-backed "Awakening" in '07 that spearheaded the surge are jumping back over to Al-Qaeda. Most of the defections seem to be related to the Iraqi government's treatment of the Sunnis. Iraq's prime minister is accusing Iran of trying to destabilize the Middle East. But it's unlikely that it's related to the AQM defections.

Will Palestine give up their claims to Israeli territory? Maybe. We gotta wait and see. But expecting the Palestinians to actually follow through on anything is an exercise in dart-throwing at a moving target.
