Re: So what are your thoughts on Bush winning the Battle for Baghdad but losing the War on Terrorism including the war with "the Axis of Evil" countries.

As I put it (*), the US strategy in Iraq is to ape the Israeli OCCUPATION on a much, much bigger scale.... What's the Israeli modus operandi in the West Bank and Gaza? Is it to station IDF troops in the middle of every Palestinian hamlet? Nope... Israeli soldiers keep clear of most Palestinian cities while, at the same time, control all the roads via their so-called checkpoints. Of course, since the Palestinian weaponry is much more primitive than the Iraqi's (Kalashnikovs and booby traps), IDF paratroopers can more safely engage in urban hit-and-run reprisals as well as "house bulldozing".... Well, I'm afraid US troops in Iraq won't be able to go that far...

Now, the flip side of the "liberation-turned-occupation" of Iraq is that, just as in Israel, terrorist attacks against US interests will flare up. Sharon and his Judeofascist allies within the US administration have successfully completed the Israelization of the US-Arab relationship....
