There have been recent attacks by Sunni extremists in Baghdad. Its obviously a ploy set off by the obviously weak Obama administration. Its reminiscent of the Tet offensive in Vietnam which was a last ditch attempt by the exhausted and demoralized Vietcong to topple the south. It was a colossal military defeat. But the far left spun it as proof the war is lost, and it became a diplomatic victory in that it convinced America to pull out, thus south vietnam was allowed to fall... and you know... millions of people were slaughtered and displaced by the communist murderors.

You have to realize these attacks are desperate, they have no resources, little support, and even less chance of success. But they aren't trying to win militarily, they are trying to scare us off. And I'm scared it will work, can Obama stand up to his own base on this issue? Well he has to, if Iraq goes under Al Qaeda gets a new base, once that has a strong infrastructure, huge oil reserves, and an economy that makes Afghanistan look like AIG. You can forget about winning the war on terror, if Iraq falls half goes to al Qaeda, half goes to Iran, and the middle east explodes into violence.

You can say goodbye to American forces in the middle east, and as a result, goodbye to Israel, Kurdistan, and millions of non radical Islamists, which I assume make up the majority. This will likely take place on the soviet model in which people are carted off in the night never to be seen again after being accused by anonymous sources.

It also has to be said, if we lose the war on terror, we lose our lives. The jihadists are clear. They want the entire world. And they will keep going until they get it. There is a racist attitude in the west that Arabs can't ever conquer us and aren't a threat. This is cynically used by the left to enforce their anti war agenda. But its source is found among white supremacists groups who masquerade as third party candidates. Ron Paul is a famous example.
