when I saw this headline, I was reminded of a sequence out of R.J. Hillhouse's book, Outsourced.
[Our corporation] has taken out over five thousand insurgents and we all know the definition of an insurgent is pretty damn loose around here. It's more or less anyone we take out.
Some of the Iraqi friends and family members resent that. They join the legitimate insurgency that's trying to throw off the colonial occupation by the United States.
So, Bush says he wants to fight terrorists "over there," yet the CIA and common sense say Bush is creating insurgents and fundamentalist terrorist over there. The humiliation of house searches, and the common killing of innocent Iraqis, is creating a lot of secular insurgents (who target US soldiers and fundamentalist terrorists), and a few more fundamentalist terrorists (who target civilians and US soldiers).
In addition, Bush is training Americans in the methods of, and who are becoming desensitized to, violence. These Americans will come back to the US. A fraction of them will commit violence here in the US, either because they snap, or perhaps they'll turn on their corrupt government like Timothy McVeigh, or maybe in the hire of organized crime or corrupt politicians (think 'assassination of JFK' and 'murder of black panther leaders').
I predicted the dot-com bubble burst, saw the financial melt-down coming (it's going to spread to the economy or get bailed out by the US tax payer). I see dark days of violence in US coming thanks in great degree to Bush's Iraq training ground. Most of that violence will be among Americans, though a few of Bush's newly trained terrorists are likely to slip through too.

I hope I misunderstand you; it sounds like you're saying that the insurgency is legal and legitimate.
Hey Simmons. Thanks for the visit.
I suppose if some nation, like China, invaded and occupied the US to rid us of George Bush, there would be an insurgency to resist the occupation. It would be legal and legitimate.
There are some in Iraq who fall into that category, then there are the power-grabbers, the fundamentalist terrorists, the elite factions using violence to gain advantage, and the organized criminals, and the run-of-the-mill street thugs.
Quite a mess Bush has gotten them into over there. Hope it doesn't come over here.
