“Air Force One touched down at Baghdad International Airport a day after a string of seemingly coordinated bombings across the Iraqi capital killed 37 people. On Tuesday, a car bomb killed nine people and wounded 20 in the Shi'ite Kadhimiya district of northwest Baghdad, police said.

The attacks underscored security challenges as the U.S. military prepares to implement Obama's order to withdraw all combat troops by August 2010.”

Hmmm… I'm confused. First of all the location of Obama was supposed to be kept secret until the last moment, right? Only top level CIA and Secret Service would be privy to that info… Ok, check..

And yet suddenly there was a string of bombings just before he lands..seeming to underscore need to keep troops in the area…OK,…check.

Presumably these attacks were done by “terrorists”, probably Al Qaida…OK, check.

So we should assume there was an intelligence leak right? yes, that might explain those incidents…Ok, check…

hmm….wait a minute…

Isn't Al Qaida the group that wants the US out of the region? yes, Check.

So why would they do something so foolish as to spur the US to continue to occupy instead of leave?

***

Conclusion: either Al Qaida is lead by totally stupid mindless idiots or something else is going on here…
