Interesting thing heard on BBC World News this morning...
According to an on e of the BBC's guests (not sure if it was an iraqi dissident or an editor for an arab-language paper in the UK, but he was talking about the attacks against Americans and he mentioned something that I hadnt heard before, he said that the attacks weren't just against Americans (here i figured he was going to mention that some iraqis had been killed), he said that many attacks had been made upon the Iraqi infrastructure, water facilities, electrical facilities, etc. He said the attacks appeared to be targeted at undermining any sense that things were better with Hussein gone. This to me says that the resistance to the American occupation is much more organized than we are led to believe.

2. electrical infrastructure
I heard awhile back that one of the smartest strategic moves Saddam made was to "booby-trap," so to speak, the electric power system. It was a calculated move to make reconstruction difficult and it appears it has worked.

3. Well, as whatreallyhappened.com
has pointed out, the pipeline to Haifa hasn't been hit. Plus the fact that the Americans being hired to manage different offices have no experience doing that. One official told an investigator that the idea is to make it so bad in Iraq, that the Iraq's will do anything. I am going to have to find that article and put links to it. Don't forget, everything having to do with Bush is not what it seems.

4. THis is an interesting tactic
SO Saddam and his own followers are harassing thier own people, trying to make life difficult for them, hoping that President Bush will get the blame? This is not the best news I've ever heard. And not a tactic I would encourage.
