This guy might be better than the old Baghdad Bob?

<snip>

Because Iraq is beginning discussions with four groups of Sunni insurgents, with a fifth expected to join, Rubaie said Iraq has only one enemy -- al-Qaeda and its affiliates. "Portraying the scene there as Shiite killing Sunni and Sunnis killing Shiites is totally untrue," he added. "What's true is that al-Qaeda and affiliates are using this tactic. . . . The goal of al-Qaeda is to draw Shiite extremists into the fight."

Rubaie, a physician and a member of the Dawa party who was in exile until after the fall of Saddam Hussein, said a second sign of success is that the number of bodies found in Baghdad in execution-style killings has dropped over the past six months, from 100 a day to 10 to 15.
