The Terrorists are Fighting Our Army? Excellent.

Evidence of al-Qaida’s Role in Baghdad Attacks Grows

WASHINGTON Evidence is growing that al-Qaida is making its presence felt in the recent wave of bombings in Iraq, which U.S. officials say is becoming a magnet for Islamic militants worldwide who seek a violent confrontation with America.

The bombers who struck multiple targets in coordinated strikes last week used 5,000 pounds of plastic explosives and diversionary tactics that are characteristic of al-Qaida operations, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official told The Associated Press.

There are multiple benefits of this.

• Our army’s trained for the job.
• Our army has massive technology, training, and firepower to bring to bear on the terrorists.
• Keeping the terrorists occupied fighting our army, keeps them away from killing civilians in the U.S.
