Great, great news! The last safe haven (or kinda safe) for al Qaeda in Iraq has now seen over 6,000 Sunnis sign a pact with the U.S. and IA forces to help form an alliance to drive the al Qaeda pigs out of the country. Next stop, al Qaeda, is Iran boys...have fun over there in Shiite land.

6,000 Sunnis Join Pact With US in Iraq
By LAUREN FRAYERAssociated Press Writer
HAWIJA, Iraq (AP) -
Nearly 6,000 Sunni Arab residents joined a security pact with American forces Wednesday in what U.S. officers described as a critical step in plugging the remaining escape routes for extremists flushed from former strongholds.
The new alliance - called the single largest single volunteer mobilization since the war began - covers the "last gateway" for groups such as al-Qaida in Iraq seeking new havens in northern Iraq, U.S. military officials said.
The ceremony to pledge the 6,000 new fighters was presided over by dozen sheiks - each draped in black robes trimmed with gold braiding - who signed the contract on behalf of tribesmen at a small U.S. outpost in north-central Iraq.
