Iraqi commander : "it proves that the (terrorists) are bankrupt and that the plan is succeeding"

"If the enemy adopts other measures like bridges and other targets, this proves that terrorism has no morality ... it proves that the (terrorists) are bankrupt and that the plan is succeeding," Qanbar added.

1. That's right from the Cheney play book.
The attacks are increasing so the insurgency must be failing.....

2. I like that
That they say "Things are getting worse, so that means they're better"


Truth is lies
War is peace
Freedom is Slavery

6. Who said terrorism had any morality to begin with?
When the pick targets like office buildings, it proves they had no morality, to say nothing of cafes, busses and night clubs.

I really don't draw the connection between General Qanbar's cause and effect.

While the crackdown has reduced murder rates, U.S. commanders say they have had less success in curbing car and suicide bombings, despite discovering several car bomb factories.

Civilian casualties have also increased across Iraq as insurgents turn away from Baghdad.

8. Right. And the Tet offensive was really a victory for "our side".
Same song, different war.
