Attacks on US soldiers in Iraq soaring

al qaeda recruitment has been on the upswing since we attacked afghanistan.. so i'd say we have succeeded in nothing but, increasing our enemies, spending tons of money, killing lots of people, giving contracts to those already in power and increasing a need for security in the wrong fashion.

Add to the preceding yet another wrinkle. Ansar al-Islam has not only survived attempts by US troops to decimate it during the Iraqi invasion, but is reported to be recruiting Kurdish and Arab militants from Iran. Operating on the premise that the enemy of your enemy is your friend, they have reportedly established a nexus even with Saddam loyalists. These groups are reported to be behind most of the attacks on the US troops across Iraq. If the alienation of the Shi'ites - which also seems to be escalating - were to continue, then the security situation in Iraq is likely to deteriorate further.
