I guess I will respond to the last first. The President and his spinners are trying to convence Americans that what is clearly apposition to Predident Bush is also none support for the U.S. Military, now engaged in Combat in the GWOT. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
The moral laps of Predident Bush and ill advised policies regarding how the GWOT are two different things. Sadly the bombings in Jordan are a product of Presidents Bush's errors in conducting the GWOT.
The fact is that the group taking responsibility for the act, al Qaeda Irag lead by al Zarqawi didn't exist befor the summer of 2004 or a full year after the U.S's.invasion, remember "Mission Completed", of Iraq and six months are the capture of Saddam.
The U.S. amd the American media have constantly refuse to aknowledge that the terrorists are in fact a 21st. Century millitary force and that the United States is having difficulty dealing with their growing sophistication.
The operation in Jordan shows that the al Zarqawi group have mastered C3 and are able to conduct operations outside of Iraq. They reportly Recond'ed. the area and gathered intell. in Jordan for a full month before the operation.
Instead of viewing the people who carry out there operations as sucide bombers they more righty should be refered to as "Smart Bombs". They are an effective delivery platform for the delivery of explosives that can change mission at the last instant.
For those of you who take the current war more seriously the the media or the politicans who are milking it for the own greed, you will notice several changes in the terrorists operations that have happened in the past few months.
The terrorist have their own manufacturing capabilicy for making explosives. This elimates tracing. They are getting resupplies of weapons and ammunination for outside of Iraq. They are getting to be better soldiers and have access and are using suphosicated war fighting equipment, some more advanced thaen the U.S. has. Most American casualities at this time are the result of small arm fire rather the IED's.
There C3 of the terrorists is so good that with in Iraq they, not the U.S. control the battlespace. They ferrly conduct operation unhindered and at will.
This is a strong indication that the American C4/I3 is througly inflatrated by al Qaeda of Iraq spies and informants.
Although it might be a streach to say that the U.S. at this point is losing the GWOT, I think it can safely be said that though, the learning curve of the terrorists is higher and and they have moved further along that curve then the Americans.
Indication are that the "Lessions Learned" by the terrorists in Iraq are being exported to Afghanistan. It is only a matter of time before they will again attempt operations outside Europe and the Middle East.

Jordan attacks: start here
Nooooo I mean wow and some of us thought one of the main reasons for invading Iraq was the fact to make the fight over there rather than over here. I guess it was much better before when if was US civilians dieing right?
Not to mention I think this attack resulted in few if any western casualties however they were very effective in slaughtering a Muslim Wedding party but heah I guess their fence sitting fellow Muslims who normally dont mind even support the Infedel civilian deaths and attacks will understand and continue thier support of AQ right?? I wondder??
Kinda like the Dope dealers in the states nobody really minds too much just accepts it until it hits thier block and the crack heads are messing with thier children robbing thier cars and home when they leave for work ect... then all of the sudden it is important to get these guys taken care of and even the dreaded police are welcomed.
This war has or at least should have no relation to Partisanship Politics, to give our mutual enemy victory or the littlest support for personal gain will come back to bite us horrible in the future.
