Ah but we forgot all about the little string of bombings...

Back to the subject: What do terrorists have to gain by rubbing a new administration the wrong way just on the verge of getting what they want (troop withdrawel from Iraq)?

This lingering incongruity just won't go away as easily.  I'm thinking 'keep troops in Iraq' because that's what the bombings would assure, or at least try to.

Then I think, who (especially just recently) has been going on and on about how wrong Obama is for withdrawel and how americans need to stand up to him and tell him to keep troops there?

And then Presto!  We have a terrorist action geared to engender exactly those sentiments.

This is kindergarten stuff.  I'm using Occam's Razor here folks..  The simplicity of the "mystery" is so simple that it's blinding..
