Allawi: More Attacks By Insurgents Means Opposition is Weakening
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 02:12 PM by bigtree

"The rise in the number and ferocity of terrorist attacks by insurgents in Iraq is proof that they are getting weaker, not stronger, according to Iraq's interim prime minister, Ayad Allawi.

"They are becoming more deadly because we think they are getting more desperate," said Allawi, who is visiting the United States for the first time as leader of his country.

"We think they are on the defensive rather than on the offensive," he said. "We think that because our capabilities are improving, we are hitting them simultaneously, and as we are getting more precision, they are becoming deadlier and are attacking the recruits and the police because they have been hurt by these people."

Sounds like his statement was written by Bush. Allawi: Bring 'em on!

3. This logic has always baffled me.
And they say it with a straight face. I don't get it.

Maybe he needs to talk to that Canadian reporter that just spent a few "comfy" days as a hostage.

5. Just one of many incredible statements that he made.
But hey, he's just another shrub campaign lackey, so why should we be surprised.

Newsweek's Chris Dickey was interviewed this morning even before Allawi uttered a word and described this charasde for what it is: payback by Allawi to the coWard for installing him as *prime* *minister*.

He's just pandering for votes for the coWard, and therefore a traitor to his people.

15. yes, and the soldiers aren't really dying. they just won't breathe or
be conscious for eternity. Allawi needs to get his ass on a plane and go home to his "safe" country. Funny his selective memory forgot to include the numberous attempts on his life. So many now, I have lost track. :eyes:

19. The worse it gets, the better it is...
Crazy. :crazy:

"More attacks by insurgents means opposition is weakening" MIGHT make sense from the point of view of insurgents.

22. He must have gotten his notes mixed up with *
He meant to say the Democrats' attack on * was a sign of the opposition weakening.

Bullshit either way...I smell a Rover.
