The Tuesday truck bombs that targeted the villages of Qahtaniya, al-Jazeera and Tal Uzair, in northern Iraq near the border with Syria, were a "trademark al Qaeda event" designed to sway U.S. public opinion against the war, a U.S. general said Wednesday.

Aren't the Iraqi insurgents now siding with us against al Qaeda because of them killing innocent women and children? I would think this would only make things worst for al Qaeda.

This number 500 seems out of whack to me for some reason. Odd that we haven't seen pictures of this all over the MSM like we always do.

I strongly suspect that the number is inflated. Even the initial 250 number they announced didn't pass the smell test.

Why is it odd that you haven’t seen video of this? Do you actually think journalists all over the country and not holed up in the Green Zone.
