Iraq is a terrorist magnet

Terrorist are coming to Iraq to die.

"...U.S. Army Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of U.S. ground forces in Iraq, said attacks against U.S. forces have increased in 'sophistication, especially in the improvised explosive devices that they are using, and we're working to learn from that and to be able to counter them.'

"But he said the methods are crude, though there is some evidence the attacks are being coordinated on an area basis.

"He said there is evidence that terrorists and religious extremists from outside Iraq have entered the country to engage coalition forces, but no evidence indicates they are being sponsored by other governments.

"'This is what I would call a terrorist magnet, where America, being present here in Iraq, creates a target of opportunity,' Sanchez said on CNN's 'Late Edition.'"

"But this is exactly where we want to fight them. ...This will prevent the American people from having to go through their attacks back in the United States."
