Jumping the Gun in Iraq

Jawa nails this one [Ten Iraqi Terrorist Groups Sign Their Death Warrants].  “ Gee, the AP is full of good news now that The One has been elected. BAGHDAD – Ten Iraqi insurgent groups have agreed to escalate attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces to derail the proposed U.S.-Iraqi security agreement, an Internet monitoring service said Tuesday. The declaration against "the agreement of disgrace" was announced Nov. 4 in an audio speech by Sheik Abu Wael, a top leader of the Sunni militant Ansar al-Sunnah, who invited other insurgent groups to join, the SITE Intelligence Group said. Interesting that this agreement was signed on election day. Maybe they should have waited for....inauguration day instead. How's that for starting your day with a laugh?  Okay, bitter laugh.  Jawa goes on to predict "I don't think Bush is going to let Obama lose this war. Expect a firestorm of war, pestilence and death upon our enemies prior to his leaving office."  Which reminds me. Israel promised not to attack Iran before the US elections, if I remember correctly.  ” Also via Jawa: Michigan liberals attack Lansing congregation in the middle of Sunday worship
