As our lovely president said a week or two ago, it's good news that the attacks by Iraqis are more frequent and more deadly- it means that we are winning. Things must really be looking up for the Coalition.

American military officials said today that a pair of ambushes of American forces in central Iraq on Sunday reflected a level of planning, scale and coordination not seen among guerrilla forces since the regime of Saddam Hussein was ousted last spring. "Are we looking at this one closely? Yes." Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said today. "Is this something larger than we have seen over the past couple of months? Yes. Are we concerned about it? Yeah, we will look at it and we will take the appropriate measures." New York Times December 1, 2003
