"Many have been trying to open channels to talk in recent weeks," Kubba said. "Some were calling directly, saying 'We did not kill any Iraqis but took up arms to resist the occupation and want to participate in the political process."
"To those who have not carried out any killings of Iraqis and who are willing to give up violence and intend to take part in the political process, the door is open."
Note the "in recent weeks". Seems operation Matador and Lighting are having the desired effect.
This comes on the heels of the Islamic Army in Iraq and the Mujahideen Army saying they are ready to lay down arms.
The effects of operation Lighting have been dramatic with car bombings dropping sharply since its launch.
And with the combination ofordinary Iraqis turning on the terrorists and coalition forces making offers they can't refuse, the terrorists are being squeezed from every direction.
No wonder they are looking for a way out.
