#1 IMHO, no. They're stepping up the attacks because the intelligence value of Saddam's information is dropping faster than my 401k did after 9/11, striking while the iron is hot. Add to the mix the meatheaded calls that are sure to come to temporarily cease operations during Christmas, ostensibly out of motives of charity, goodwill, Peace on earth, bunnies, flowers, and all the little friends of the Forest that came to Snow White's aid in the Movie version, but which, in reality, will give Saddam's remaining personnell to scatter, regroup, and fight again another day. Some acts of charity are comitted in total vanity, and thus not worth doing.

#2 why would we cease ops on Christmas in a muslim country? Id think the PC thing to do in Iraq would be to ignore Christmas.

#3 i thought hattam and the 73 were caught in Samarra - is the presense of village along the Tigris BETWEEN Tikrit and Samarra causing confusion?
