Die Kämpfe mit der sunnitischen Gruppe im Libanon zeigen, dass der Irak nun vom Ausbildungslager für islamistische Terroristen zu einem Exportland werden könnte.

US military leaders in Iraq are increasingly convinced that most of the broad political goals President Bush laid out early this year in his announcement of a troop build-up will not be met this summer, and are instead seeking ways to redefine success.
