Just slightly similar to all the talk for the last couple months about how Al-Queda's been marginalized in Iraq. Then bush announcing this week that Al-Queda's behind the rising violence there.

>>>It isn't? Sounds like it to me. We'll see. Mark your calendar.

>>I'm sceptical, but then again 3 years ago the Iraq Military/Police were in control of the country. Aside from the generals (a poliltical job) the administration is likely to be largely the same.
