File under: al-Qaeda in Iraq

#1 a terrific media victory for al Qaeda and its push to deepen the civil war here

As well as a great story for our friends at The New York Times.

#4 It appears that the word around Iraq is that al Q has a lot of stupid rules and Iraqis are now uniting against them and in support of an Iraq they don't yet understand. Al Q has also made themselves unwelcome by their free lance killing of Iraqi children to make a point.
In some sick reality, we need al Qaeda to remain a force for as long as we will be training and expanding Iraq's ground forces. The unitification factor provided by al Q is enough to keep the sunni and shia off each other's throats.

#5 Wouldn't it be nice for the West Side denizens of New York Time's readers to one day be having their bagels and coffee to read about how the AQ in ~~Mesopotamia~~ Iraq are requiring diapers for sheep to keep their genitalia from being visible.
