Re: Was that Jack Murtha

Zarqawi's capture may signal another crucial turning point in the war: Until now, anyone who accepted a position in the Iraq administration or with its security forces instantly became a major target of the terrorists, and their life expectancy dropped to around nil.

This may be the starting of a reversal - Now terrorist lieutenants have to decide if they want to be a key target.

Sure, heretofore they've operated on the "bulletproof" strategy of being happy to die for the cause, but they could be realizing with the loss of Zarqawi that leaders are less dispensible.
