...slaughtering whatever helpless target you can lay your hands on, since you can't manage to kill troops... Hello! Earth to Carroll! Earth to Carroll! The insurgents have killed 46 US soldiers so far this month. How many more have to be killed before you shut your stupid mouth that the insurgents "can't manage to kill troops"???? The "sectarian violence" (which is really a civil war) is a more recent development. But don't tell us that you geniuses were not warned about the possibility of a civil war before you started your stupid adventure! The insurgency or resistance to the USSA occupation continues unabated. Those who are attacking US troops and those engaging in the civil war are different entities. It is only your stupid "reasoning" that leads you to believe that something has morphed into something else. What an idiot!

>>The recent news from Mosul is not good, but Mosul was quiet for a long time. The current reports seems to say that the sectarian strife in Baghdad has spread to Mosul. This is something new the insurgency is morphing into. It's certainly a sign of ruthlessness but not necessarily of strength; slaughtering whatever helpless target you can lay your hands on, since you can't manage to kill troops, is not really likely to win friends or be militarily effective.<< Nadine - Actually, the morphing of the insurgency is not from one thing into another, but from a few things into more things. The people who are all referred to as "insurgents" are really many different groups of people motivated by different things. Not all of these people would attack Americans if they could. They are attacking Shiites because the Shia are their preferred targets. They don't bomb mosques to hurt Americans. I wish I could believe your view was correct; that the overall situation is improving, and real progress is being made. But I don't believe it. And I don't believe the problem is that the press is engaged in a vast conspiracy to make the Bush administration look bad. The press did a great job of helping them get elected. - Allen
