Ok, so this is all assuming that the insurgents have a deeper understanding of US politics than most US citizens? And me for that matter, because I don't have a clue what "midterms" means.

It makes me laugh to think these idiots actually believe this crap.

Well, to start, the midterms are a week from today; basically, those few American citizens that care will be voting in a brand new House of Representatives and 1/3 of their Senate.

As to the death toll increase, it spiked in October last year too, but clearly not in '04... (in fact, October '04 was a bit lower than its neighbouring months)

Really? Cuz my friend Benham, in Iraq with the Royal Signal Corps, says that most of the insurgents he's seen captured talk absolute crap.

Apparently, some think the british want to take tea there or something stupid.
