How do you know the insurgency is growing at all?

How many Baathists were in Iraq in 2002? Just because violence increases doesn't mean there are more perpetrators, just that they have been forced to fight instead of just running torture chambers in their cities off camera and out of sight.

- They increased forces in Afghanistan before the election, too. - Tom Brosz - 11/22/2004 4:40:54 PM
- What to believe: That we are determined to exterminate the terrorists quickly and then get out. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 11/22/2004 3:57:52 PM

    - These are Saddam's old henchmen and Al Qaeda. They are utterly opposed to democracy and elections. - David F Mayer - 11/22/2004 5:31:51 PM
      - Guess what? Iraqis still hate Israel, adn they still hate the US - E.P. Grondine - 11/23/2004 6:46:22 AM

      - Saddam killed hundreds of thousands of people he suspected of opposing his regime. That is cool with Lindy, apparently. - ebnelson - 11/22/2004 7:20:33 PM
      - You asked: "Do you want them back in charge?" Lindy probably does! It fits with her leftist totalitarianism. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 11/22/2004 5:32:59 PM
        
        No, I actually don't think she does. - Tom Brosz - 11/22/2004 5:53:16 PM
        
        We have a choice: Leave and let the Ba'thists take over again, beginning the mass murder industry again, or stay and set up a democratic government. There is no middle ground. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 11/22/2004 8:49:22 PM
        
        It would be a lot cheaper.......... - Lindy - 11/23/2004 4:10:19 AM
        
        Yeah, as Bowser might say, they're only Muslims. - Tom Brosz - 11/23/2004 4:20:49 AM
        
        As Bowser properly describes your attitude, that is. He regards them as human beings. (n/t) - Bowser - 11/23/2004 3:31:46 PM
        
        Then why do you want the head-choppers to win? (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 11/23/2004 4:35:55 PM

    - That "source" - Lindy - 11/22/2004 5:10:05 PM
    - Hmmm...should have been under Jack's post. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 11/22/2004 4:54:54 PM
  - The children are the lambs once again. - Jack Herer - 11/22/2004 4:35:29 PM
    - Does no one care about the innocent children? - Lindy - 11/22/2004 5:14:59 PM

        How do you know all the insurgents are Baathists? - LJ - 11/23/2004 6:20:57 AM
        
        Wait: They're supposedly 'all' Baathists now? I thought all of them were 'Foreign Terrorists' - Davin L. - 11/23/2004 7:14:37 PM
        
        Toms justifications are rather fluid - R.L. - 11/24/2004 1:52:19 AM
