what is the advantage to attacking us in Iraq rather than the US...? are they less conspicuous? do they have a better established support network? give it some thought...perhaps it's the call for jihad...maybe it's just easier...expand on your thought train...

true...but riddle me this...why use Britain as a base to attack Americans involved with OIF...? why not use Syria, Jordan, why not use an in-theater safe zone? is the pressure we are exerting in Iraq causing mission planning to be directed outside theater? does this bode well or ill for our cause?????????????
