The victory for the terrorists isn't the outcome of the United States election, it is in how many new walking bombs they can generate in as short as time as possible.

I love how people tend to drag on Bush for an exit strategy, the terrorists have absolutely none. Nine times out of ten, they don't even have a NOW strategy, aside from making as many walking and driving bombs as possible. You can't even imply that they're smart weapons, since there's no goal involved.

It's like an afterthought. "Release all the women prisoners." Err.. Yeah, umm, there's only two. "Release them all!" Hmm. Well, which would you like, Anthrax Annie or Chemical Cindy? "Don't care, release them all." Well, what if we did. "Then.. Err. Then you must release all the men!"

Couldn't they at least PRETEND that they want Saddam to be released? I mean, hell, half the time, they act like liberals (and some conservatives) on a horrible drug trip, kidnapping people to prevent outsourcing of jobs from Iraq, or that is how it appears. "No truck drivers from Turkey, or we take his/her head!" Great, whatcha gonna do, drive it yourself, Mohamed? Because if you don't, that small town over there will die of thirst because one of your 'smart bombs' went and blew up the town's water pipeline.

Oh, sure, yeah, more terror for the people, including all those 'smart bombs' you stashed in that town. Brilliant.

Do the insurgents in Iraq see their battle as won or lost by November 2, 2004 election?

Hanson answers the question by saying that "a Bush victory doesn’t mean . . . that they are completely lost". However, it's pretty clear that a Bush victory would greatly demoralize the ~~insurgents~~ Islamofacists.

The converse is also true, although unstated. A Kerry victory would greatly encourage the Islamofacists.
