I wouldn't doubt that many OBL supporters (whether connected or not) are among those "jihadis" flowing into Iraq. And it is true that wahabis don't like Shiites. But whose actions invited pious Muslims into Iraq? People that never dreamed of going on any jihad, were transformed by the combination of the TV coverage of the war, and their local Imam calling for jihad after Al Azhar issued its fatwa.

As for what works for Faux News, I'm a poor judge. Little of it works for me, but seems to work just fine for their "Limbaugh" target audience.

FWIW, I'm listening to a CNN report that says only five individuals, all Iraqi, have been arrested for the bombing. Significantly different from some other reports. We'll see.
