They are probably the Sunni suicide bombers.
I hardly think they are running away out of fear.
And I doubt that's there's more than a few dozen of them who aren't
cannon fodder.

Look on the bright side.
Now that AQ is out of the way the Americans can severely piss off the
Shia majority by fighting their way into Sadr city and getting them to
join in the "lets all kill Americans" fun.

I imagine the fun will escalate to the point where the Democratically
Elected Iraqi Government (ie the Shias) tell the US to leave, shortly
before setting up an Islamic Republic just like Iran.

Yeah, blame Bill and Hilary for that. They wouldn't allow the use of
AC130's. Could have saved a whole lot of US and Somali lives if they could
have had that sort of firepower available.

Clinton's SecDef took blame for not insisting on more equipment in
Somalia. He resigned.

Rummy should have had that much class in, say July 2005, when Iraq
when into the toilet for not enough occupying troops and the
consequential deaths of our kids.

Rummy had his own "Somolia "in Afghanistan. There was a ****up where
a bunch of SpecOps people got in deep shit on a mountaintop and the
commander wanted helios and artillery to get them out. SpecOps troops
died, unnecessarily.

Rummy had limited the helos in Afganistan to a small number and had
nearly zero artillery, which the commanders on the ground wanted. He
also set up a parallel command chain that confused the decisionmaking
on that bad day.

The story is told in _Not a Good Day to Die: The Untold Story of
Operation Anaconda_ by Naylor.

Highly recommended.

Rummy should have resigned when we found out that he, or someone under
him lied about how Tillman, the football player, died in Afghanistan.

This administration has been one outrage after another
another when kept us from taking the time for exacting justice
for each one as it came along.

There will be a special place in hell for Rummy. I hope he sleeps well.

Well for a start they didnt think ....Period!
You need a brain to be able think and "Brush" certainly hasnt got "much up
there"
or they wouldnt have even gone there.

Wolfowitz the idiot right wing zealot convinced them otherwise with
falsehoods .

Now they are paying for assisting one sectarian mob against the previous
sectarian mob who were
ruling to the exclusion of each other.
The sectarian hatred in Iraq has been going on as long as one can remember
Recipe for disaster if you exclude any one group from power.

US will either "pull the rug" and get out like Vietnam or still be there in
20 years.

If they stay it will cost them so much moneterily and troop lives it will
make
them a 3rd world country, which is OK by me, as at moment they believe they
are the true world "godfather" and are effectively acting like the British
Colonial power of old.

Using the Wolfowitz manifesto principle of "we are the strong ones,
so if we disagree with a particular country, then we should just go in and
belt the hell out of them"
This hasnt got US anywhere yet, except in a big mess, and wont anywhere
as you dont know how to fight guerilla type war, which is what you have got
in most areas your troops are in active combat.

Vietnam proved that, and the US generals still havent learnt that bombing
the hell
out of a country doesnt work and that civilian populations become like the
French resistance and give you hell back, then disappear back into their
daily lives.

What really gets up my nose is the massive civilian and troop loss of life,
so the political ends of the radical right in US can get there grubby hands
on a few more resources they dont have but use at such a massive rate
they want what other people have e.g. OIL. (read Halibut)

I reckon USA will entice al Qaeda to fight with Iraq against Iran.
The promise of removing US troops from Saudia Arabia, and concessions given
by Israel to Palestinians, might do it.
US, Israel, Saudia Arabia, bin Laden all win, except Iran.
It will be done through the bin Laden family in Saudia Arabia.

you hit a sore spot, the fact is that an increasing part of troops are
would-be
immigrants or impoverished youth from ethnic minorities. I do not know
if
they have any substance, but I have heard rumors that some felonies can
be overlooked if the convict enlists.

The professional army ensures that very few sons of the UMC, or UC
actually
serve in the army (or have a ground duty.) Is there a son of a
representant
in Irak?
And the second largest force in Irak is made off private contractors
which could
be as numerous as 100 000.

Some people say that having the darft back would ensure that the US do
not
go to war whimsically.

The US has said that it is going to disarm the Shia militias (also known
as "The Iraqi Government"), and the only way it can do this is by
fighting through the Shia Sadr City in Baghdad. That will ensure the end
of the last vestiges of support for the US in Iraq.

Where were the religious leaders when they should have stood against the
invasion of Iraq.
It is strictly mass murder if there is NO imminent threat of an attack
on your homeland!
Where was the transparency regarding how many would be killed & children
their arms & legs blown off!
This is a documented public record fact! The Rev. Pat Robertson visited
Bush before the invasion and told him he should prepare the American
people to accept the casualties.
Bush told him there wouldn't be any casualties. (Bush Not in Reality?)
The Bush spokespersons said that Bush did not say that, Robertson says
Bush did. Pat was & is a powerful Bush supporter, is he going to lie to
hurt bush? - udarrell

Wolfie was on record as saying that 35,000 troops would be
enough. Standard Pentagon planning said high 300,000s. Many generals
agreed. Source;

_The threatening storm : the case for invading Iraq_,
Pollack, Kenneth M.

Pollack is reality-based career CIA planner and not a PNAC that I can
tell. He shows how Saddam was really really evil (he was) and had to
be dealt with by the west, one way or another.

It's an interesting time capsule, being written before Bush started
beating the WMD and support for terrorism drums WRT Iraq. Saddam really
*was* a problem, the author felt that containemenmt couldn't hold for
ever and Saddam had his two sons to take over and they were as bad as
he was. OTOH, the author dismisses claims that Saddam had WMDs by
then, or supprted international terrorism in any meaningful way.

It's an Air Force thing more than a a universal opinion. The AF
thinks that wars can be won without putting boots on the ground.
Sometimes they get their way (Kosovo) and sometimes they don't.

It seems that for GW1, the AIr Force made a case that no troops would
be required and almost got their way. When Schwarzkopf came it, he
founds teh inter-service battles and won. This is described in;

_Air Power_, Budiansky (also Battle of Wits)
