QAEDA SHIFTS TO IRAQ? An interesting piece in Newsweek suggests that bin Laden has decided to pull some troops and resources out of Afghanistan and deploy them in Iraq.

We have the military resources in Iraq to counter al Qaeda. Bin Laden understands the fatal threat a successful democracy in Iraq would pose to Islamo-fascism. A second front helps us and weakens the enemy. Flytrap may be working, after all. (Hat tip: Lt. Smash.)
