<edkyle99@xxxxxxxxxxx> made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a
way as to indicate that:

Al Qaeda is a minor player in Iraq. The insurgency is based on local
militia - local guys who get mad when they see a U.S. patrol in their
town and want to do something about it.

This war is being lost on the streets of Iraq, not on U.S. streets.

Not on US streets. In US newspapers, and on US television.

The same US newspapers and networks that cheerleaded the
nation into war without asking the obvious questions? They
have no credibility, either way, as far as I'm concerned.

The truth can be gleaned from looking at casualty numbers. If
the US was "winning", the death rate would not be increasing.
Five more today.
