#9  I won't believe any conspiracy until Rosie weighs in with a metallurgical opinion.

#8  Yeah, this one stinks. No way this is AQI. It just doesn't wash that the Sunnis could get so close. This one has Muq and Quods Force (Iran) written all over it. Iran needs a smackdown and soon.

#7  Excalibur and Treo:

Should I forward your half-assed, chickenshit little expressions of moral support to whoever's running Al Qaeda in Iraq and or Moqtada al Sadr and the Revolutionary Guards that are supporting him?

#2  I going to play 'conspiracy theory' here: How does a group of AQ get right up to two prominent Shia minarets at a site that was already a target - and thus likely under serious protection? And how do they get time to place charges to bring down towers so completely? And do it simultaneously? Sure, AQ has motive, but do they have opportunity? Sadr has opportunity, and - quite possibly motive. How do demoagogic 'leaders' gain/regain power (always and everywhere)? Create an enemy to enable you to gather 'their' enemies behind 'you', the leader.
I suspect Sadr AT LEAST as much as Al Quada in Iraq.
