Upsurge in Violence

The recent large-scale terror attacks in Iraq do not bode well for the coalition. As I recall, large-scale attacks on Iraqi civilians after a time of relative calm (say the past week or two) sometimes lead into an uptick in attacks in general (i.. against coalition troops and Iraqi military troops as well. It is quite possible that the two months of calm I predicted will not now materialize.

(No, I am not trying to have it both ways. I will count it as being a strike against my predictions if the violence upticks in January or February; this fear that the calm will not materialize is not an official Glaivester prediction, so if it is right, no points for me).

We shall see.

That is all.
