Anyone else find Kimmit's comments totally contradictory, but very revealing in their parroting of Shrub who said yesterday the attacks in Iraq and Turkey were for "Propaganda?"

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031122/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq&cid=540&ncid=716In recent weeks, insurgents have shot down five U.S. helicopters using
shoulder-fired missiles and rocket propelled grenades. About 40 U.S.
servicemen were killed and nearly two dozen injured.
The attacks on some of the most heavily guarded buildings in the
center of the capital appeared designed to demonstrate that the
guerrillas retain the ability to strike at will despite the overwhelming
presence of U.S. and Iraqi security forces.
"They're trying to break our will. They're trying to seize the headlines
... but they're militarily insignificant," Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the
U.S. military deputy director for operations, said of Friday's attacks.
However, Kimmitt acknowledged the attacks point to "a very clever
enemy who knows that we don't have the best intelligence in the
world."
