    The polit­i­cal fall­out of the mur­der inside of Iraq may well exceed Abu Risha’s actual role in Sunni pol­i­tics. More later. UPDATE: Nobody has yet claimed respon­si­bil­ity for the assassination.According to an Iraqi blogger,Abu Risha’s tribal rival Ali Hatem Sulay­man blamed al-Qaeda for the assas­si­na­tion dur­ing an al-Arabiya inter­view (I didn’t see it). The insurgency’s forums are joy­ous, with “Allahu Akbars” everywhere.

    the cen­tral Iraqi gov­ern­ment long. The attack was al Qaeda and it will solid­ify the “awak­en­ing” Wish­ful think­ing, but as this weeks tes­ti­mony has made clear: all we really have is hope. On a side note, Sheik Abu Risha’s Anbar Sal­va­tion Coun­cilis blam­ing the Iraqi gov­ern­ment for the mur­der… Aside from point­ing out how com­plex the sit­u­a­tion is in Iraq and even in the homo­ge­neous al Anbar province as dis­cussed above, it says a lot about the like­li­hood of the “awak­en­ing” becom­ing friend to the cur­rent Bagh­dad gov­ern­ment.
