<<<But--and let me emphasize that this is just my suspicion here--it strains credulity that an ally of Al Qaeda would go all-out to note the growing strength of the U.S. in Iraq; further note that jihadists are being "suffocat[ed]"; believe that the June 30 handover of power would spoil all hope of holy war; and lament somewhat ostentatiously--or, to use the Times's words, "with a rhetorical flourish"--that "we will have no pretexts" to mount attacks when "the sons of this land will be the authority" in "the democracy" awaiting Iraq at the end of June.>>> Suffucation seems to be good word for it. Al Queada funds from SA being cut off, whatever Iraqis that may possibly have sent them money will have little to give. Difficuties in getting useful arms or storing them in those Afghan mountains. And the Coalition getting stronger with the addition of foreign help and newly trained Iraqi military and police. Big problems in sending terrorists over here with fake passports or bomb materials. And whoever provided the fake papers will be sought out because we are now in the area, just next door, ready to hunt. There are ways to minimize the effectiveness of car bombs, truck bombs, and IED's- just need time to work out feasible ways. Better barricades, more distant check points, controlled ingress/egress for vehicles. etc Sig@squeezeplay.org
