Ok, some background. I will have 10 years in the US Army this next month. I started enlisted and went to ROTC, earned my commission and am now a captain. I have been to Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, all over the USA and spent Iraqi Freedom in Korea re-enforcing troops there in case the North wanted to test out two war stragegy.
1st off, the terrorists DO read and can write. Many top terror leaders are highy educated at Oxford, Yale, Harvard, etc. Most "domestic terrorists" like ELF, ALF, and PEDA are from upper-middle to upper class families and went to the "Best" schools.
Terrorists and the National Socialist Ba-athist party members still trying to oppress the people of Iraq are well versed in media manipulation. They were banking on another Mogadishu where the US fled after an ambush. They are banking on "allied" interests in the USA and Europe (ANSWER, World Workers Party, ELF/ALF, PETA, American achedemia, Red Army Faction, European socialists, and France) to exert pressure on the US, UK, and AUS gov'ts to withdrawl from Iraq. They want the UN to take over Iraq knowing full well it is a socialist organization and will give control of Iraq BACK to the Ba-athist NAZIs.
2nd. Though willing accomplices in the media, they supress "good news" and positive progress and instead focus on bringing death of US soldiers into American and European living rooms every night. Ironic isn't it? The media and the Left could care less how soldiers live (run-down barracks, a Hillary-care HMO forced on them, etc) but they sure do care that these same soldiers, who predominatly vote conservative, die.
By wearing down the resolve on the "home front", these terrorists and their allies hope to force the US out of the Middle East and strip it of its superpower status. They want a socialist UN in charge and absolutly DO NOT WANT a Constitutional Republic anywhere close to the Middle East.
