Looks like we are doing a great job keeping terrorists out of Iraq

"The bombers are recruited from Sunni communities, smuggled into Iraq from Syria after receiving religious indoctrination, and then quickly bundled into cars or strapped with explosive vests and sent to their deaths, the officials told The Associated Press. The young men are not so much fighters as human bombs — a relatively small but deadly component of the Iraqi insurgency.

"The foreign fighters are the ones that most often are behind the wheel of suicide car bombs, or most often behind any suicide situation," said U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Don Alston, spokesman for the Multinational Force in Iraq."

2. I smell a whiff of disinformation

Example:shortened link

I figure that there are plenty of people in Iraq who are angry enough with the US! If the answer is to close the borders, wouldn't that dovetail neatly into Bush calling for a draft and invading Iran and/or Syria?
