US Vice-President **** Cheney has said that insurgents in Iraq have increased their attacks in order to influence the upcoming US mid-term elections.
He blamed a recent rise in violence on al-Qaeda and others trying to "break the will of the American people".
"They're very sensitive to the fact that we've got an election scheduled," he said, claiming the militants monitor US public opinion via the internet.

Seems stoopid comments are the order of the day.
Is he implying that the Iraqis are trying to get the democrats elected? Or is he implying that the Iraqis are more concerned with the mid-terms, than they are with ejecting the occupying forces?
Or, is it a bit of 'double-speak', meant to convey into the minds of the american voters that a vote for the Dems is a vote for the insurgents, and therefore a vote against the military folk, and therefore treasonous?
Or is he flailing around in the cess-pool of his mind, looking for yet more excuses to explain why the 'insurgency', who are after all, as he said in June '05 "in their last throes" are still not only there, but are in fact becoming stronger?
After all, it can't be Ramadan, 'cos thats over and there isn't an Iraqi election on atm.
Im a bit surprised that he didn't blame it on the Iranians, who after all, do have access to the internet too, and must be aware that the US is having an election.
