As Milestone of 2,000th U.S. Military Death Looms, Iraq's Insurgency Shows No Signs of Abating

Sunday, October 23, 2005 06:43:01 PM


With the grim milestone of the 2,000th U.S. military death looming in Iraq, many wonder about the direction of the insurgency that killed most of them.

Experts think the country's increasingly regional-oriented politics will fuel the insurgency and even spread it further inside Iraq. Others put forward a simple, disquieting scenario: So long as U.S. and other foreign troops remain in Iraq, the insurgency will continue.

"It will become more chaotic," predicted Magnus Ranstorp of the Swedish National Defense College in Stockholm, Sweden. "It is obvious that the United States is in Iraq to stay. If this is the case, the Shiites will likely join the Sunnis in the fight."

Last pharagraph:

"As long as there are Americans in Iraq, Islamists will want to go and fight them," said Dia'a Rashwan, an Egyptian expert on Muslim militant groups.

1. Don't hold your breath

One phone call or fax from some White House spooge monkey and they will lighten their tone and tote the neo-con line again!

Just you watch.

5. but I think that the AmCon loathes the neo-cons

this is Buchanan's baby.

Many elements in the far-right have always been opposed to the Bush administration.

Things will only get interesting when actual neo-cons start to dissent (unlikely). Thus, it is up to the American public in general (including conservatives) to wake up!

No duh.

3. I don't consider what's happening over

there an "insurgency" at all. And while I hate that our troops are being sacrified to the gods of oil, profit, and neocon wet dreams, I understand full well the motivation of those who will go to any lengths to remove them from Iraq. If the US were invaded and occupied by a foreign power, US citizens would do no less.

4. Yep, step in an ant pile and the ants will start to eat you alive.

The best way not to get eaten is to get your foot the hell out of their!
