#1 Have the bombers been picking up the pace lately ?
Yesterday, I read that the influx from Syria has been chocked off. Are the Baathists accelerating the insurgency ? Is it time for decimation procedures ?

#2 One encouraging thing with all these police recruit bombings is that the Iraqis are still lining up and risking a boomer to become police. That means it cannot just be for a job, other jobs pay less but lack the pre-interview explosions.

#4 Tactically, IEDs are the next-to-last technique left to the terrorists. As the LAPD will tell you, the drive by shooting is the easiest thing to pull off, and one of the harder things to stop.

It also means that the conflict is rapidly becoming an entirely police, rather than military, affair.
