The Iraqi deputy prime minister was almost killed today during an attempted assassination in which nine of his family members were killed. The deputy PM survived with shrapnel in his chest when a suicide bomber entered his home and detonated. The identity of the suicide bomber? The PMs body guard!
That should tell you something.
Just as US intelligence says, the vast majority of the insurgents are indigenous Iraqis and not foreign fighters. US troops doing duty with Iraqi troops operate under one unwritten rule: don't trust them. The Iraqi troops and police are infiltrated with insurgents. Saturated would probably be a better word. Today's report reminds me of a report a few years ago of a couple of US troops on patrol with an Iraqi national guardsman who dropped behind them and emptied his clip into them.

Bush and his fellow Republican supporters have got to get it through their heads that the war on terror and the civil war in Iraq are two different entities and their nonsense statement of: "If we don't 'em fight over there, we're going to have to fight 'em over here" is just as wrong and inane as was "stay the course" and "we're winning" and "the insurgency is in it's last throes" and they're going to "throw rose pedals at our feet" and the like...
