.>>I predict, after the Iraqi elections, these attacks expand to other geographical locations much closer to home. They are never going to run out of suicide bombers...at least not in our lifetime.>>> Violence will continue for a while but there will be a change. When the elections are complete the leader will have a mandate to impose some order on behalf of the citizens in general. Iraqis are used to having a tough boss so it would be easy for them to understand and it also explains why the Sunnis are so desperate and worried. It has taken a long time for Iraqis to recognize they have enemies amongst themselves worse than the US and that the US has not come as occupiers. Starting in February Iraqi security forces should become much bolder with a consolidated plan and support of others to eliminate contaminated areas. They will be able to tell residents what to expect if violence in their city continues. Fallugha was a roaring success , so a similar operation in other cities like Mosul could be expected. House to house to find and eliminate stored explosives. Our forces should be primed and ready with plenty of predators and armored vehicles to help. Terrorists will find themselves with fewer friends, less ammo, fewer hiding holes, and less organization. Sig

Yes, the Republicans are deciding what to do about the situation. Many of them have the same questions I do. They can either go to court, or can go to the Democratically controlled State Legislature. The different Counties are working now to try to reconcile the fact that there are now 8,500+ more votes than voters. Sure...I know there MUST be a good explanation for all of this. If the questions aren't answered .... the Democrats will not recover from the very dark black eye they so richly deserve after such a mess of an election for Governor. soundpolitics.com PS....I know you like the word "wailing"...you used it twice. Wish you could come out and straighten these folks out. I'm sure you could, since you've done it "scores of times..." Seriously, write or call the Washington State Republicans and tell them of your experience. Maybe they will fly you out to help.
