One of the Bush****ters in this newsgroup, Herring, I believe, claims
the resistance in Iraq is isolated and of no serious consequence, and
that he has actual letters from servicemen there who tell him everything
is hunky-dory.

It almost seems out of control. What a mess. Maybe the US should just
engage in one last major all out effort to get rid of the most dangerous
elements and then leave. Let the Iraqis rebuild their own country.
Oh I forgot....what about the oil.....!

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

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.

Lets see, the news reports I am seeing state that there are Shi'ites and
Sunni leaders in the rebellion against the coalition forces.

The U.S. already disqualified the Baathist party from being involved in the
political makeup of the "New Iraq"

That leaves the Kurdish as the only Iraqi people that aren't attacking our
Men and Women.

Perhaps what we should do is try to enlist the help of those
semi-responsible Moslem states in the Gulf area, and try to get them to
form a force that would provide security. Obviously, the Iraqis are
deeply resentful of our presence in their country, and one can hardly
blame those insurgents for being insurgents.

After all, if the United States were invaded by the PRC, wouldn't there
be American insurgents fighting them?


Sure...but only the conservative American insurgents. The liberals would
probably welcome a takeover by a Communist regime. Nevertheless, I doubt
there'd be Canadian, French, Russian, German, and Mexican insurgents doing
most of the fighting.

You must've missed the news last week. Bremer says he'll be involving some
Baath party members in the new government, just as we involved some Nazis
after the end of WWII. There's no other way.
