I’m not entirely sure what to make of this statement apparently made by leaders of the new Iraqi government:
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Reaching out to the Sunni Arab community, Iraqi leaders called for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces and said Iraq’s opposition had a “legitimate right” of resistance.
The communique — finalized by Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni leaders Monday — condemned terrorism but was a clear acknowledgment of the Sunni position that insurgents should not be labeled as terrorists if their operations do not target innocent civilians or institutions designed to provide for the welfare of Iraqi citizens
Pardon me for wondering, but does this mean that “insurgents” targeting American soldiers are condoned by the new Iraqi leaders ?
