That the insurgency is in its "last throes."

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Insurgents launched a sophisticated and well-coordinated strike against police checkpoints in Baghdad on Wednesday that left five dead and at least 31 wounded, police said.

Thirty to 40 insurgents in civilian cars fired two rocket-propelled grenades targeting police patrols at a checkpoint, striking vehicles. Initially, police mistakenly thought a car bomb had been detonated.

Using RPGs, hand-held grenades, AK-47s and machine guns stashed in their vehicles, the insurgents attacked police at other checkpoints.

Among those killed were two police officers. Seven police were wounded.

In the meantime, Bush continues to make speeches to Military Audiences, while refusing to meet with Cindy Sheehan.

It's classic Rove tactics. Things going to hell, go make a couple of Rah Rah, "We are facing an evil enemy, yada yada, Global War on Terrorism, yada yada," speeches before a friendly audience...

Show some courage Mr. President, meet for once with people who don't agree with you. Hear their point of view, THANK THEM, for being real Americans, and for honoring the American Tradition of dissent.
