Peace Overture?

Fox News

An insurgent group in Iraq purportedly says that while it is capable of fighting U.S. led forces for a dozen years — it is not opposed to peace talks. The interview posted on an Islamic Web site is attributed to a spokesman for the Islamic Army in Iraq — a terror group that has been involved in kidnappings and executions — and is believed to include former members of Saddam Hussein's regime. The voice on the interview says truce and peace talks are a "religious duty." It says militants are "ready for any kind of negotiations" with what it calls the "enemies of God." It says those talks could be public or private, and could be done through intermediaries.
