Bush is brilliant. The terrain of Afghanistan was too irregular for it to be the primary battlefield in the WoT. Iraq has lots of dust and heat, but otherwise is an ideal setting.
Despite the inevitable casualties which should never be forgotten, make no mistake that the fighting in Iraq is strengthening us and weakening the enemy.
Militarily speaking, you couldn't hope for a better training/testing ground for our troops, weapons and tactics.

Saudi jihadi suckers in the House of Saud oil pricing game.
If this is explained to the Iraqi people they will fight them.

So foreigners vow to run foreigners out of Iraq. Makes perfect liberal sense.

When will these Saudis attack the House of Saud and/or the Saudi oil fields?

yup, not only that but these foreign jihadis never fail to piss off the locals with their holier-than-thou attitude and by destroying the locals' property.

Well, I wouldn't say that "Bush is brilliant", as I don't think that the administration planned very well for post-Iraq. That said, the current situation is a wonderful opportunity to lure some jihadists to their doom.
Iraq is a crummy country in which to conduct a guerilla war. The terrain is generally flat and open - not good for moving guerilla forces around. The only real guerilla country is up north, and that area is controlled by our Kurdish allies. The wetlands of the south could cause us trouble if the Shi'ites get nasty, but it is no Mekong delta.
Jihadists are now in season in Iraq.

I would suggest guarding the borders, but our track record isn't too good on that score :-/

Better there than here.
In Iraq there are rules of engagement. Terrorists will be caught and interrogated or killed (or both). There's no ACLU, no liberals, no minimum security prison. The jihadists aren't going to be playing around in their fancy Arabic neighborhoods in Chicago or New York.
To: Brian S
The Saudis and Palestinians attack OUR TROOPS daily.
So exactly why does these US support terrorists, anyway?

Its the foreigners who are bombing the Iraqi oil and water pipelines and the US who will help drive them out. I just hope CENTCOM can make good of this angle.
