Funny, that's not what the Army intel and CIA guys say. I read a report
the other week that said only about 1/4 of the terrorists in Iraq were
'foreign fighters.'


"Insurgents" only refers to people who have a social base and have
support. They carried out either armed uprising or peaceful uprising like
Gandhi but these are no such thing. They are terrorists.

Well, he's trying to re-define what "is" is, so that Bush/Cheney won't
look so ridiculous.

Another funny thing is the way they don't say a word about Halliburton
any more. Halliburton pretty much admitted to the first $125 million of
theft & fraud, maybe because it's just a drop in the bucket. Now they're
faced with the possibility of losing serious money... but hey, just lie
like a rug, pretend everything's OK, and hum a few hymns, it'll all blow
over!

Meanwhile, Iraqis have pretty much given up on getting their electricity
& water turned back on. The US contractors are spending more on security
than they are on the actual projects, and marking time.
