re: WHAT AM I SAYING?!! Everything is fine, just peachy keen fine in Iraq! After all, Iraq is now a working democracy! What's creepy is the way the insurgents just turn this stuff on and off. They must have a pretty sophisticated communications network. Apparently. What's galling is the way they toy with the Iraqi soldiers......its like a cat with a mouse. Stuff like this is bad for morale. They need to beef up the defense around these troop convoys. ted

>What's creepy is the way the insurgents just turn this stuff on and off. They must have a pretty sophisticated communications network. I disagree. I mean, I think they do have a pretty good communications network, but I don't think they're turning this stuff on and off. I think that we concentrated a lot of resources on a real security effort during the elections, and now that we've relaxed a bit, the attacks have gotten stronger again. I'd bet that if we saw a chart of attacks and deaths by day over the last 12 months, they'd both be going up steadily, then go down for the election, then resume their climb. If they could really have turned it on, there would've been a spike up on the day of the election. At least from what I could cull from the media, that wasn't the case. -Z
