4,000 "insurgents" released, and suddenly Al-Qaeda is resurgent. Obama's response? [1] Release more!
"Iraq blames Al Qaida revival on U.S. release of 4,000 insurgents," from the [2] World Tribune, May 7 (thanks to [3] Pamela):
BAGHDAD — Iraq has launched another offensive against Al Qaida, raiding suspected AQI strongholds throughout the Diyala province, capturing insurgents and confiscating suicide vests....Iraqi military spokesman Maj. Gen. Atta Qassim said the resurgence of Al Qaida was fueled by the U.S. release of nearly 4,000 insurgents in 2009. Qassim said the released insurgents have been returning to both Al Qaida and organized crime.
