The insurgents have no really good reason to even negotiate with the US.
They are fucking winning!
I never thought the insurgents needed to win; but just keep us frustrated until we decided to negotiate and they would have been glad to do it at that point.
The only thing the insurgents could pray for now is that Israel would enter the war in Iraq. This would give a lot of jihadist more reason to join the insurgency and they would then like to carry that momentum into Isreal.
The only way for the US to get out of Iraq totaly clean, without fear of terroist attacks, would be for us to announce a withdrawal, apologise and start bombing Isreal.
