      Yes it absolutely is! It seems that Iraq is a "Major Military Operation" everyday while the search for Osama Bin Laden languishes. I guess maybe that's a tough concept to grasp. The level of convolution is nauseating.

        AT THAT TIME, it was thought that major military operations were over. Obviously, they were not. OK? WTF...

              Well, I'm sure the insurgents thought otherwise.

                  You're delusional. Just because some Iraqis don't want us in their country doesn't make them terrorists. And the relative few foriegn fighters in Iraq would not be a threat, nor would they be attacking Americans if we weren't in Iraq.

                  Black is white! Less is more!

                  (paraphrasing from tonight's ABC News) "The dirty little secret in Iraq is that there are not many foriegn fighters carrying out attacks." --Gen. John Custer, USA

                    Inside the Mind of a Suicide BomberExpert Says Persistent Death and Destruction Radicalizes Young Iraqis
                    Experts say the majority of suicide bombers in Iraq are not foreign fighters. ABCNEWS.com

                    WASHINGTON, Dec. 14, 2004 — There appears to be an almost endless supply of fighters willing to die for their cause in Iraq. Suicide bombers have routinely struck U.N. buildings, hotels, and checkpoints since the end of major combat in the country.

                    The weapon of choice is usually an explosive-packed automobile, but explosive vests have been used as well. U.S. intelligence officials say the majority of the bombers are not foreign fighters, as many believe.


                    "The big myth is that there's an endless supply of suicide bombers, that the foreign fighters are everywhere. That's the story everybody wants to hear, and Iraqis don't want to admit that some of [the suicide bombers] might be Iraqis," said Brig. Gen. John Custer, director of intelligence for U.S. Central Command.

                    Just today, a suicide car bomber killed seven people at a Green Zone checkpoint early today in Baghdad, Iraq. It was the second attack in two days near the same gate into the district that houses Iraq's interim government and the U.S. Embassy, officials said.


                    Unwilling Martyrs


                    The recent assault on the former insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, U.S. military-led raids on private Iraqi homes, and military bombings that have killed Iraqi civilians have radicalized young Iraqis.

                    "The deaths of their own families, the destruction of their homes — all these are leading to frustration and anger and hopelessness, and they want the enemy to feel the same frustration and hopelessness, so they are resorting to this violence," said Muqtedar Khan, visiting fellow in foreign policy studies at the Brookings Institution and an expert in political Islam.


                    But it also appears that not all of the bombers are willing participants. U.S. military officials have found body parts in vehicles used in suicide bombings — left by the frantic people who were trapped inside, unable to flee.

                    "What we've found in a number of places are hands chained to a steering wheel," Custer said. "We found a foot roped into the car unable to escape."

                    He said in some cases, it appeared that men were forced to carry out suicide bombers because their families were being held hostage.

                    "We've seen a number of incidents where — wives [and] children kidnapped — [the] fathers forced to drive a car, even so far as to have a car following it with a remote," Custer said.

                    And U.S. commanders say they are seeing a new tactic in the field — insurgents sending two suicide bombers to launch an attack, in case the first one backs out.

                    ABC News' Martha Raddatz filed this report for "World News Tonight."

                      Well, this is a new low. It actually set me aback. If this is true, it is the most horrible thing I've read in a very long time. This is from Saddam's people.

                        It was a tactic actually developed by the IRA in Northern Ireland. Only they allowed the victims to get out of the car before it was blown up.

                              Is it REALLY that hard to fathom, that SOME of us don't take this administration's bullshit as Gospel?

                              Seriously?

                              Are you actually led by the balls? Do you ever form your own thoughts and opinions? If so, then why is it so hard to believe other have as well.

                              You got the war you wanted, and now you can defend it.

                              LoungeLizard? Pretty clever. I've noticed you're easily amused.

                              I'd play with the name WarHam, but the obvious is too easy.
