 [Spaces.icgpartners.com] ICG Spaces - community weblog - Risk Containment and Pricing Public: These passive countermeasures were fruitless as documented images were .The voting has had no impact on the Baathists and insurgents, save that they .

[Counterterror.typepad.com] The Counterterrorism Blog: January 10, 2005 - January 16, 2005: As the insurgents continue their push to force Prime Minister Iyad Allawi to cancel or delay the scheduled January 30 elections, Allawi today admitted that Iraqis may be unable to vote in some places because of the security situation. In an effort to exacerbate an already bad security situation, today insurgents killed six Iraqi police in a car bomb blast in Tikrit and also hit a U.S. military convoy south of Baghdad with a roadside bomb.

[Kaedrin.com] Kaedrin Weblog: Clueless - the personal weblog of Steven Den Beste has some thoughtful, intelligent, and properly enraged commentary on the attacks and our impending response. Of particluar note are some of his essays, including: What are we fighting for?and Theres no such thing as a 'civilian' (this is also where I got the above story about the car crash) I do wonder how he views his article on Theory and Practice of Terrorism now (considering that he wrote it before the attacks, and that the article seems to imply that any military response is giving the terrorists what they want)...

 [Billroggio.com] The Fourth Rail: I had considered writing about this article but begged off as I did not believe it added to anything stated here or elsewhere about the chaotic nature of the insurgency and how their lack of a unified political message bodes ill for their chance at attaining the goals of thwarting democracy and driving the US out of Iraq (my friend Chester can attest to this, we discussed this earlier in the week). A read through The Fourth Rail’s Iraq category will reveal numerous documentation on the brutality of al Qaeda against the local Iraqi population, how the insurgency has failed to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, the affects the election has had on the morale of the Baathist and indigenous elements of the insurgency, the fracturing of the insurgency amongst the various local and foreign fighters (al Qaeda), the will of the Iraqi people to fight back, the importance of Iraq shouldering its own security and how Iraqis continue to flock to join the fight against the insurgency, the successful operations carried out by Coalition forces, how Iraq is crucial to the War on Terror geographically and geopolitically, how the war in Iraq has drawn in al Qaeda and forced them to fight America on their own soil, and how al Qaeda is failing.
