Panic? Maybe, but on whose part?

This morning's hardcopy of the Roanoke Times carries a headline something like "Panic Seizes Baghdad as Election Nears" (for some reason the RT is leery of including the headline in its on-line edition). Considering the RT's loathing of the Bush Administration, however, one wonders if we're not seeing a case of psychological
"projection?"

Maybe they're worried a New Iraq will benefit not just the Iraqis but George Bush.

Troops in Iraq certainly have a different view than the RT.

In fact, Austin Bay sees continuing bad news for the terrorists.
