For all the press's attempt to claim their is a nationalist "insurgency" of some sort, and of more importance then the foreign Jihadis, you'll note that the former Baathists and the Jihadis work in unison.

Unlike Iran's puppet Sadr, these two supposedly conflicting and separate groups operate in the same areas, so one would expect, were the press's implictations accurate, that these two groups would be fighting each with some regularity...but they don't seem to be.

Of course the mindful observer will remember that the secular Hussein gave Islamist leader Zarqawi sanctury when the latter fled American forces in Afghanistan...

Osama bin Laden has vowed to turn Iraq into the front line of his war against the United States

Seems to me it's better if Iraq is the front line of the war and not New York City. It's the bug zapper theory: Let all the terrorists flock to Iraq and the Marines will be there waiting.
