US is encouraging tribal and other Sunnis to form regional associations to counter al-Qaeda and build support for the Maliki government. Tribesmen and former insurgents who join are paid 600 dollars a month to fight al-Qaeda, and US forces have recruited thousands of men, who are given uniforms and paid 300 dollars a month to act as guards in the neighborhood.

The new alliances until fairly recently, fought US troops. By allying with Sunni insurgent groups to fight al-Qaeda, the US is unwittingly arming groups for possible sectarian conflicts in the future.

this is more to do with the forming of militias who will they hope will act as a bulwark against the inevitable Shiite insurgency once the US follows the orders of its Zionist supremacist masters and attacks Iran.

There's going to be civil war in Iraq, and you can take that to the bank. All the danger signs are there, the sides are gearing up and there's no stopping it. Where and when remains an issue, but probably in the south.
Al Queda was just a distraction for the warring sides.

I wonder how many months this can hold together.
They're crowing about reduced violence right now even as this is the deadliest year ever for American soldiers.

Anything that involves the Iraqi's understanding the power they have when they take responsibility and action in their own country.
