Iraq Official Advises on Ending Insurgency

"ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) - Iraq's interior minister said Monday that capturing insurgent leaders like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is not important: Instead, the key to ending the Iraqi insurgency is cutting off the flow of recruits.

Bayan Jabr told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that al-Zarqawi was weaker after a recent crackdown in Baghdad by 40,000 Iraqi and U.S. troops. He said a new anti-insurgency operation would begin next week targeting areas surrounding the capital."

I wonder if this is the big operation we are waiting for. If true I wonder why the minister is talking about future operations? why the hell anyone talks about future operations is beyond me, maybe I should just shut up too.
