Do you think the Iraqi insurgents are aware of the upcoming US elections?

Question

And if so, do you think any of their recent actions are related to the elections?

Answer 1

These terrorists are very intelligent and well organized. That is why they are doing so well. The other reason is the division of the American people. This division is empowering to them. God forbid a Democrat takes power. It just might be the decline of the U.S as a world power.

Answer 2

Yes, they are aware, but they don't care that much.

Quoted from another answer "These terrorists are very intelligent and well organized" is just plain false. The Shiite militias have very little central control and even the Mahdi army is not following the instructions of its leader. Christ, the Sunni and Shiite people are fighting each other, even Shiite militias are fighting each other, and they kill Americans when we get in the way.

The increasing violence is a result of two things:
1) They've reached a breaking point, and the violence is going to continue to build until someone is able to cease control or a political solution is found.
2) Ramadan - their holy month.

The increasing violence is not about US elections and we're arrogant for thinking that it is.

Furthermore, if the Iraqi insurgents want the Democrats to win (which they honestly don't really care about) doesn't mean that you shouldn't vote for them. We shouldn't just do what is contrary to what Iraqi insurgents want.

Answer 3

ABSOLUTELY, and they are actively trying to destroy the morale of the American military and the American people. Jihadists know they have a better chance at victory with Democrats in power.

Answer 4

Of course to all you liberal Democrats out there ask yourself who do you think the terrorist would like to see in power in this country answer honestly.

Answer 5

I don't care what the insurgents think and what they do. They will die sooner or later. Sooner would be better in my opinion though.

Answer 6

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BWHAHAHAHAHA Oh good one.
