MSNBC:
In a full-length version of a tape previously broadcast, al-Qaida’s deputy leader called for attacks against Persian Gulf oil facilities and urged insurgent groups in Iraq to unite to drive out American forces, according to a videotape posted on the Internet Wednesday.
If this is true, why don't the attacks in Iraq stop? We've done everything we've said so far regarding holding elections so we have to have some cred there. The political will in the US is to get out as soon as possible. The only thing keeping us there is our being attacked. If there were no attacks for six months, we'd declare the place stable and be gone.
The folks fighting us know this. What most of them are against is a democratic Iraq. They're trying to kill the political process. Their chance to control the country is now before freedom takes root.
