We've noted earlier that violence was expected to escalate in the run-up to the January 30th Iraqi elections. We've also noted that the insurgency was becoming better organized, more effective, and had much better intelligence than "coalition" forces ever expected.
I think, however, that it is also important to note (because some people not a part of the reality-based community still do not understand this) that al Qa'ida is now firmly implanted in Iraq, under the direct guidance of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (and the indirect guidance of Osama bin Laden). Before the US invasion of Iraq, there was no safe haven there for al Qa'ida.
