The Guerrilla Advantage in Iraq
Advertisements [?]
Wish I could post it all.

As recently as two weeks ago, Lt. Gen. Ricardo S.
Sanchez, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, called
the guerrilla attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq
"strategically and operationally insignificant."

Insignificant? Actually, it is difficult to identify any
military or political objectives that the guerrillas are
not making real progress toward achieving.

The insurgents have successfully struck a blow at
coalition military forces. According to an extensive
survey by Stars and Stripes, 49% of troops
reported that their unit's morale was low or very
low.

Friendly governments, like Japan's, have either
delayed their troop commitments or, like the
Italians, are debating their current commitments.
