One of the Bush****ters in this newsgroup, Herring, I believe, claims
the resistance in Iraq is isolated

It is isolated. Estimates put the number of insurgents in Fallujah at
somewhere between 1000-3000...out of a population of more than 200,000.


and of no serious consequence,

Not true. Any time Americans are dying, it certainly is of serious
consequence.

and
that he has actual letters from servicemen there who tell him everything
is hunky-dory.

It's not a "popular uprising", Harry. It's al Qaeda insurgents from other
countries teaming up with ex-Baath party officials, and radical Shiites (who
have the support of Iran).

Bush plans to turn the country over to mostly Kurds, several Sunni's and a
sole Shiite in June...which is precisely why the Baathists and Shiites are
joining with al Qaeda to oppose our troops.
