Al-Qaeda Mounting a Comeback in Iraq as U.S. Prepares to Leave?

The world is as it is today because of "unfinished business" in the ending of conflict. Just because you are tired of war is no reason to leave loose ends that can come back to whip you in the fanny.

The inescapable irony for Iraq is that blood-thirsty terrorists don't reform with the change of the guard. All those demons they've created for killing American soldiers will not go away when our troops fade into the sunset that last day. Tarik Aziz no doubt deserves whatever punishment he has coming, but he's at least half-right about what's going to happen when the US pulls out. The unfortunate truth may be even worse than he thinks. That country is accustomed to being run by a butcher, and to expect a magic transformation any time soon is ludicrous. But, what the heck, it's time we got out; we've already paid far too much. If they want to kill each other, who's gonna stop 'em?

Where is all this money coming from that al Qaeda is throwing around?

How long did it take them to figure that one out?

After throwing Viet Nam under the bus, the predicted bloodbath did in fact take place. 40 years later, Viet Nam is looking westward for trade and economic development.
Government by the people rather than the power elite, however, remains elusive there as it is becoming here.

The other option to protect this country is to pull all of our troops and not allow anyone from these third world countries. Then instead of the CIA and FBI just monitoring the ones in this country with terrorist ties, round them up and kick them out.Offer a free camel for each one that turns himself in!

Pull out all troops as planed then drop bombs in areas of strong concentration. Irac like bombing look at operation desert storm they put up with over 60 days of it.

Well, of course there will be a regrouping of these radicals. Things will only get worse for them and us.
