What he saw in Iraq

In the WSJ yesterday (6-15-07) Joe Lieberman tells "What I saw in Iraq." You remember that Joe was abandoned by his party when he chose to support Bush on the war, but he won reelection anyway. I'm not sure what happened to his committee status. But I think he reports things we won't see in the regular news sources. It helps to have been there, I suppose, rather than sit in air conditioned studios and opine or read what someone else wrote.
    90% of suicide bombings are the work of non-Iraqi, al-Qaeda terrorists

    al-Qaeda's leaders say Iraq is the central front of their global war against the U.S.

    al-Qaeda wants to use the Sunni-Shia bloodshed to collapse the Iraqi government and radicalize the region (it has certainly worked with the American leftists)

    Iran is doing everything in its power to drive us out of the region

    al-Qaeda has shifted its focus because the surge is successful, not because it isn't. Democrats have it backwards.
Why do Democrats and some wimp-Republicans want a failed state in the middle east brought down by al-Qaeda and Iran?
