It's rather unlike terrorist cells to repeat their tactics. So I fail to see how a single, poorly executed, rush job leads you to the conclusion that "the terrorists" are getting desparate. Especially with Iraq having just been through a series of the most deadly terrorist attacks of the whole war. It seems much more likely that this is some small, independent group of nutjobs trying to make a name for themselves by copying someone else.

So the attacks in Iraq are the works of terrorists?
