Top U.S. commander predicts more fighting (Sanchez)

The top U.S. military commander in Iraq predicts fighting there is likely to intensify in the future, and possibly continue until the Americans leave.

Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, in an exclusive interview with Knight-Ridder Newspapers, said the "Sunni Triangle" west of Baghdad has been the site of the fiercest attacks on American soldiers in recent months and attacks there are likely to intensify during coming weeks.

Sanchez, however, said he believes the coalition forces are winning the war, and that most of the Iraqi people are behind them.

1. If that is true, I would start watching my back!
Who knows what the Iraqis are doing behind them?

2. Sure we're winning their hearts and minds
but their trigger fingers dont wanna comply. This reminds me of the US leader claiming to see "the light at the end of the tunnel" right before the TET offensive.
