Afghan, Iraqi insurgents collaborating in fight against Americans
Yeah ... the wars are just going dandy, Bush. :eyes:



Afghan rebels are now travelling to Iraq to learn from insurgents there and returning home equipped with deadlier weapons and new techniques to use against US troops, analysts and reports say.

And the increasing use of suicide bombers in Afghanistan suggests that outsiders are now working alongside the homegrown insurgents, they say.

"There have been some changes in the way things are being done in Afghanistan," said Milton Bearden, a former CIA agent who was based in Pakistan during the Afghan rebellion against Soviet occupation.

"Whether it's some old Taliban or some new insurgency, some of the things we're seeing happen have the fingerprints of things that are going on in Iraq," he told AFP.

2. 'axis of evil' another self-fulfilling prophecy?
don't flame me for calling the iraqi nationalists "evil" (and don't flame me for not calling the islamic jihadists not "evil" - they are), i am just using Bush's terminology.

3. Understood
I got a kick outta both responses, the one from you and Lerkfish. It's great to throw these meaningless words back at Bush, and expose him for the congenital liar that he is.
