bb - "Al-Qaeda's strategy for victory in Iraq is clear. It is trying to kill as many innocent people as possible in the hope of reigniting Shiite sectarian violence and terrorizing the Sunnis into submission."

I doubt if its as clear as Lieberman thinks it is. In fact, al qaeda shares the Sunni Muslim belief system. Why would they want to terrorize them into submission? Its far more likely that (although some of the tribal Sunnis are turning against al Qaeda) Sunni militants and al Qaeda have the similar goal of overthrowing the majority Shiite, Iraqi govt.

Bush is right in there cheering them on because he knows that it will be much easier to deal with a Sunni govt. than a Shiite govt.
