While Sunnis Sign Onto Election,Terrorists Target Sistani Aide

Captain Ed, over atCaptain’s Quarters [1] points to an AP report of an attack in Karballa against…

“…Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in order to discourage the upcoming elections, the AP reports. The bombing killed seven people, mostly bodyguards, and wounded Sistani’s aide…”

Ed goes on to point out, correctly, somehting I’ve been saying here…. Islam isn’t a reason, it’s an excuse….

“Today’s attack isn’t the first time the Imam Hussein shrine has been a target for the Islamofascist terrorists. A series of bombs at a religious festival in March killed 181 Shi’a celebrating at the tomb of Shi’a founder Ali’s son. These attacks demonstrate that the terrorists have no interest in defending Islam against infidels, but merely want to impose their own totalitarian vision of the world on a prostrate Iraqi nation. Islam merely provides an excuse, one they easily discard whenever favorable tactical situations arise near so-called holy shrines. “

Ed also points out the strategy is failing.

So, I wonder; at what point do the Democrats admit they were wrong on Iraq, too?
