Pay Attention to Me!

There is no doubt that we and our Iraqi friends have not completely eliminated the ability of terrorists to strike inside Iraq.

But when you think of the governmental, economic, and military targets that the terrorists could hit inside Iraq, doesn't the selection of these bombing targets today tell us something?

Suicide bombers struck in quick succession Monday at three Baghdad hotels favored by Western journalists in well-planned assaults that killed at least 37 people and wounded more than 100.

Obviously, I'm just speculating, but it seems transparent that the enemy is desperate for media attention, and the only way they figure they can get it in an environment where our press is mostly ignoring the victory in Iraq is to hand the story to the press in a manner guaranteed to get news coverage--home delivery to their door step.
