** terrorism defeated in iraq?, page-27

Leaping Avenger,

I strongly suggets you do a little more reading on the administrative makeup of the 3R, and on the list of absolutely brilliant decisions Himmler made post-Heydrich - his efforts at being a general in '45 really were amusing.

Remember, ladies and gentlemen, once the SS moved out of their comfort zone of raping and murdering civilians, they werent actually that much use as fighting troops.

Again, as far as the 3R goes, pay particular attention to their umkmm confused lines of command and control on anything important. Compare and contrast to another recent government (clue : C**** R*** was supposed to be co-ordinating intel from various sources).,

Al-Zarqari and Al-Quaeda is a little more confusing ... the available evidence suggests he sees himself as a rival organising figure to OBL (what has happened to him ? Oh thats right, GWB and the wingnuts offed a secular dictatorship instead, then got bogged down against it's remnants).

In any case, as far as Iraq goes ... Its Not Al-Quaeda Stupid, Its The Ba'ath And Anti-American Nationalists

Aguably, Zarkawi buying some agricultural property helps the insurgents, as then they get to argue it's a 100% Iraqi show.
