Al Qaida in Iraq
 

Were they always there, just returned after US troops pulled out, or taking credit for others' bombings?

probably a little of all three.

I can't believe they've been there the whole time. Everyone knows we hunt down Al Qaeda...except in Egypt where we do business with them.

I'm sure there's no conflict of interest there and quite frankly I'm not interested in learning how to use google nor do I even know what the f.uck to look for if I did.

I'm an obedient servant.
