Al-Qaida returns to Iraq, bribes American allies
The Sons of Iraq are being offered more than their government salaries by al-Qaida to switch sides and fight against American troops. Jake Diliberto, a former marine who served in Iraq said buying allies and friends never works. He argued that al-Qaida is growing because of the continued NATO and American presence in the Middle East, not because they are being bought off. Iraqis need to be a part of the process to shape their government, they have to take part in their nation state to build it, said Diliberto. Every day troops remain in the region there is fuel for al-Qaida to go, he argued.
