Caldwell said insurgents are looking to influence midterm elections in the United States.

"It's no coincidence that the surge in attacks against coalition forces and subsequent increase in U.S. casualties coincide with our increased presence on the streets in Baghdad and the run-up to the American midterm elections," he said.

"The enemy knows killing innocent people and Americans will garner headlines and create a sense of frustration. However, the coalition will not be deterred from establishing an Iraq that can provide for its own security and govern itself."

1. blah blah blah blah blah The Pentagon works for Bush*.

[sabra]

2. and let me guess, according to Caldwell the insurgents want the Dems

to win?

[blm]

3. CNN, FOX and MSNBC certainly want the public to absorb that insinuation.

And some people still don't see that the corpmedia is the enemy here - they are BushInc's front line of defense AND offense during every campaign.

4. They have to have someone to blame, don't they?

(other than themselves, of course)

5. Sure and Iran and N Korea wanted Kerry to win because Bush is so tough

on them. Al Qaeda certainly did too because they wanted an America that was respected in the world and acted multilaterally. That goes makes their job easier /Sarcasm

6. They are coming up with anything they can ...

I heard them say that the insurgents are killing more americans for Ramadan to affect the elections over here. It doesn't matter what day it is they will kill americans because they can.

7. Hmm... I'm thinking they're looking to influence the US to leave.

I could be wrong here, but, I doubt it.
