#1 Why do people say that when AQ blows up a bunch of people it makes the people fearful and cooperative, but when the US kills a bunch of AQ it makes the people angry and more likely to join the jihad?

#2 you really got to hand it to this new Iraqi Army though. When they get killed, it's always 20 at a time, 40 at a time. Numbers like that would have the average American citizen's panties in a knot.

#3 Call me disjointed, but is there a contradiction in this?:

"Saudi Arabia itself has been battling Al-Qaeda militants, and an undetermined number of Saudis are among Arab fighters taking part in the insurgency against US-led and local government forces in Iraq."

Seems to me the way the Soddies have been "fighting" these ~~Wahhabi-home grown Islamist terrorists~~ militants is by letting them slipped across the ol' Soddy-Iraq border into Iraq itself.

You say a cicada blew himself up, all red-eyed at the prospect at meeting 72 larvae? How sad!
