Every one but you seems to think that Al Qaeda is all over Iraq. The big surprise is that Al Qaeda is coordinating with the Baathists.

Apparently, the US military does not agree with you. I told you guys before.......you have to stop watching Fox News. ;~)

Bush, Kerry and Allawi have cited foreign fighters as a major security problem.

WASHINGTON — The insistence by interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and many U.S. officials that foreign fighters are streaming into Iraq to battle American troops runs counter to the U.S. military's own assessment that the Iraqi insurgency remains primarily a home-grown problem.

In a U.S. visit last week, Allawi spoke of foreign insurgents "flooding" his country, and both President Bush and his Democratic challenger, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kerry, have cited these fighters as a major security problem.

But according to top U.S. military officers in Iraq, the threat posed by foreign fighters is far less significant than American and Iraqi politicians portray. Instead, commanders said, loyalists of Saddam Hussein's regime — who have swelled their ranks in recent months as ordinary Iraqis bristle at the U.S. military presence in Iraq — represent the far greater threat to the country's fragile 3-month-old government.

One of the first things destroyed was an Al Qaeda training base in Northern Iraq. Zarqowi is Al Qaeda. It is his forces that seem to be buying hostages, and executing them.

And that base was in Kurd country..........the part of Iraq Saddam had very little control over.

Please show respect for intelligent people. Al Qaeda is all over Iraq. A graceful exit from Iraq includes leaving a trail of personal freedom.

In your's and Bush's fantasies..........however, what is happening is that Iraq is swelling the ranks of al Qa'ida in other parts of the world.
