But the president's characterization will hardly have resonated with his Iraqi audience, who see al-Qaeda as a problem brought into their country by the U.S. invasion rather than by Saddam Hussein. Even the U.S. intelligence community has long maintained that Saddam's regime had no connection with the 9/11 attacks, while U.S. commanders on the ground in Iraq say that foreign terrorists constitute only a small fraction of the insurgency facing Coalition troops there...

...something to celebrate last week when the IRAQ NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM beat Saudi Arabia, 3-1, to qualify for its first-ever Olympic berth. Baghdad's beleaguered residents reveled in their victory, firing tracer rounds and other ammo into the air.
