re: iraq's election - k2high K2High - how exactly does this humiliate Bush when he said there would be increasing violence in the lead up to the elections?
*********************************************************************************************
Forecasting of increasing violence in the lead up to the elections doe's not exempt Bush from this painful humiliating situation in Iraq.


The head of intelligence services in Baghdad says that there are more than 200,000 fighters

IRAQ’S rapidly swelling insurgency numbers 200,000 fighters and active supporters outnumbers the United States-led coalition forces, the head of the country’s intelligence service said yesterday.

The number is far higher than the US military has so far admitted and paints a much grimmer picture of the challenge facing the Iraqi authorities and their British and American backers as elections loom in four weeks.

“I think the resistance is bigger than the US military in Iraq. I think the resistance is more than 200,000 people,” General Muhammad Abdullah Shahwani, director of Iraq’s new intelligence services, said.
