The part of it that struck me was the violence has "escalated sharply in recent days".
Can there be any doubt that it's related to the re-election of our Warmonger in Chief? I suspect the insurgents were waiting--just like us--to see if America would have the wisdom to elect someone who would end the madness over there and bring our occupying force home.
Imagine being an Iraqi insurgent. Hard, I know, but remember: they're human beings, and to them, their actions are perfectly rational and right. You've just been told that the your main enemy, the man behind the collapse of your country's political, social, and economic structure, the man orchestrating its ongoing occupation, has just been re-elected for another four years. Those four years must seem like an eternity to you! Wouldn't now be the time you'd launch your next major wave of attacks?
Bush asserted that he was the best one to keep us safe from terrorists over the next four years. This is the first piece of evidence that we were horribly mistaken to believe him.

I stay out of Tilted Politics on purpose. Please forgive me if I vent a little when a political thread makes its way out to me in another forum!
