I've got a bit of news for you...
The terrorists and insurgents are losing this war. That's based on a lot of information I've gathered.
There may be an upswing in attacks on civilians as the election cycle proceeds--the next few months will be critical--but Zarqawi and the Baathists are not going to come out of this on top.
The best they can hope for now is a civil war, and when the Shiites and Kurds gang up on the Baathists and Sunnis, who do you think is going to come out of it in one piece?
