So it's your contention that the Al Quaeda and other terrorists in Iraq 
are all wearing standardized uniforms, and are taking pains to 
distinguish themselves from the innocent civilian population? That they 
are not, in fact, doing everything they can to blend into the local 
population to escape detection and maximize the damage they can wreak on 
civilians and Coalition forces?

You're the one who's in denial.

Nothing left to say here, I think. Let's move on to happier and more 
productive topics.
