So the US now admits that its forces are holding some 5000 Iraqi "terrorists." They, however, concede that only 20 are "suspected" of ties to AlQaedah. Yet, commander Sanchez yeserday conceded that none of the 20 has proven ties to AlQaedah. Yet, US officials keep peddling the lies about foreign terrorists in Iraq. But the US is working hard to win "hearts and minds" of Iraqis. Toward that end, the Sunni suburbs of Baghdad are now being bombed nightly. Imagine: the US controls Iraq, and now US forces bomb the Sunni suburbs of Baghdad hoping to kill "bad guys." I used to be convinced that Saddam is finished: and I sure hope that he never ever holds power anywhere. But US bombings and stupidity in Iraq are helping the fortunes of the Ba`th. Remaking the Middle East it is.
