<snip>"Saddam had an army of 400,000, plus his {personal militia) and a vast intelligence service just to keep the lid on this country,'' says Mr. Gohel. "With current troop levels it will be impossible to provide the security required, and the violence will only serve to inspire the global jihad movement."

Indeed, the rising number of Iraqi casualties, many civilians, highlights the dangers for an occupying army when it seeks to put down an insurrection. Broader Iraqi anger is being created by civilian deaths, which are almost inevitable in the street-to-street fighting being seen in cities like Fallujah. There, on Wednesday, witnesses said 40 Iraqis were killed in a mosque after it was struck by a US missile, the Associated Press reported.

Iraq.

US terrorists shooting a missle at a mosque. No different than any suicide bomber targeting civilians....except we are afraid to commit suicide.
