If violence in Iraq is a "plot" by Al Qaeda, then we must be co-conspirators.

[Brotherjohn]

Bush now claims violence in Iraq is a "plot" by Al Qaeda (anything BUT a civil war; forget the fact that few of the insurgents are foreign nationals, and even fewer are Al Qaeda). If that is so, then we (especially he and his administration) are co-conspirators in this plot.

WE de-stabilized Iraq. WE started this war. Saddam, for all his evils, made it pretty impossible for Al Qaeda to operate in Iraq (not that they had any reason to then).

In reality, of course, if the violence in Iraq is a "plot" by anyone, it's the Bush administration (with Al Qaeda as co-conspirators). A plot to de-stabilize the Middle East, and blame Al Qaeda for it. And it HAS become a civil war, as so many warned would happen before the invasion.

SOMEBODY other than the organization that has created THIS ENTIRE MESS, Al bushco.

U.S. Considers Elite Hit-Squads for Iraq -Report

Jan 8, 2005 09:10 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Pentagon is debating whether to set up elite hit-squads to target leaders of the Iraq insurgency in a new strategy based on tactics used against leftist guerrillas in Central America 20 years ago, Newsweek magazine reported on Saturday.

One proposal would send U.S. Special Forces teams to advise, support and possibly train Iraqi squads of hand-picked Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Shiite militiamen to target Sunni insurgents and their sympathizers, Newsweek said, citing military insiders familiar with the discussions.

The squads may operate across the border in Syria, Newsweek said on its web site, but added it was unclear whether they would assassinate leaders or be involved in "snatch" operations.

The magazine said the plan is being called "the Salvador option" after strategy instigated during the Reagan administration's battle against the leftist guerrilla insurgency in El Salvador in the early 1980s.
