Tet II

I'm guessing that the timing of the election in Iraq was not chosen because it's an anniversary of the Tet Offensive. But it would be just as well if it were, because IMO there are several parallels:

1. Attacks will occur all over Iraq
2. The "insurgents" will be slaughtered and will take years to recover if they get the chance
3. The press will portray it all as a victory for the "insurgents"
