Yeah, right. After opposing the senseless war on Iraq and after seeing thousands of people killed and maimed, and after seeing hundreds of billions of dollars wasted, it is time to support it now????!!!!

Hot on the heels of yesterday's release of the declassified NIE on Al Qaeda, the U.S. military in Baghdad announced today that it has captured a top leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq:

The U.S. command said Wednesday the highest-ranking Iraqi in the leadership of al-Qaida in Iraq has been arrested, adding that information from him indicates the group's foreign-based leadership wields considerable influence over the Iraqi chapter.

First off, the capture took place two weeks ago but was not announced until today. Hmmm, have we seen that before?

[Secondly,] the detainee just happened to confess to a greater level of coordination between AQ in Iraq and Osama bin Laden's global AQ, right in line with the official White House line that AQ in Iraq and AQ are one and the same. The White House is already highlighting the capture in its daily email to reporters. Go figure.
