The Associated Press is telling us what many of us already know here, but it’s nice to see an organization so biased against the Bush administration tell it like it is every once in a while. There is no “insurgency”. These suicide attacks are not perpetrated by Iraqis who believe we’re occupying their country and are trying to drive us out. These are Islamofascist terrorists, mostly from Saudi Arabia, making a last ditch effort to try to keep Iraq from remaining a democratic, moderate nation. This is jihad plain and simple, and defeating these scum in Iraq is the most vital thing we can do right now. Any elected official who says otherwise needs to be gone.
The vast majority of suicide attackers in Iraq are thought to be foreigners — mostly Saudis and other Gulf Arabs — and the trend has become more pronounced this year with North Africans also streaming in to carry out deadly missions, U.S. and Iraqi officials say.
The bombers are recruited from Sunni communities, smuggled into Iraq from
Syria after receiving religious indoctrination, and then quickly bundled into cars or strapped with explosive vests and sent to their deaths, the officials told The Associated Press. The young men are not so much fighters as human bombs — a relatively small but deadly component of the Iraqi insurgency.“The foreign fighters are the ones that most often are behind the wheel of suicide car bombs, or most often behind any suicide situation,” said U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Don Alston, spokesman for the Multinational Force in Iraq.
Officials have long believed that non-Iraqis infiltrating the country through its porous borders with Syria,
Iran and Saudi Arabia were behind most suicide missions, and the wave of bloody strikes in recent months has confirmed that thinking.Authorities have found little evidence that Iraqis have been behind the near-daily stream of suicide attacks over the past six months, U.S. and Iraqi intelligence officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the subject’s sensitivity.
