US Commander Predicts Baghdad Backlash

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The new U.S. commander in Iraq said on Thursday military force would not end violence unless talks were held with some militant groups and warned of more "sensational attacks" during the current crackdown in Baghdad.   Reuters

   One of these days somebody in the Bush administration will tell the citizen's of the United States something that we do not already know. Maybe these kind of news conferences are directed at the Fox News viewers as they seem to be the most mis-informed group in the country.

   The general did say also that al Qaeda was stepping up their attacks in order to provoke more of the sectarian violence which is threatening to knock Iraq into a civil war.    Source

   That statement alone tells me that the general's comments are aimed at Fox viewers because the rest of the country already knows that Iraq is in a civil war, not heading towards one.
