Terrorist attacks have increased in Iraq because Jan 30 is approaching swiftly.

We were told a few months ago that terrorist attacks had increased because the handover of power to Iraqis was near.

The attacks continued unabated afterwards, with the new reason being the elections.

We were told the battle for Falluja was intended to clean out the terror hideouts and secure Iraq for the elections. That hasn't happened, judging by the increased number of attacks.

After the elections, we will be told to expect increased terror attacks prior to installation of an elected government.

After the installation of an elected government, we will be told to expect an escalation of attacks as the insurgents try to destabilize the new government.

It may well be that the intense efforts by American troops may yet somehow break the back of the insurgency. That is my hope, of course, but the numbers suggest that there is a long way to go before that happens, if ever.

That merely encourages them to hold on until those Americans whose hobby it is to constantly criticize Pres Bush's policies, grow ever louder.

That's the last line of defense fir a failed policy - say critics of the president encourage the enemy.
