Pentagon: Iraqi forces engaged in 'deadly deception'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Pentagon officials lashed out Monday at the "deadly deception" of the Iraqi regime on the battlefield, saying that Iraqi troops are engaged in "serious violations of the laws of war" by falsely indicating their willingness to surrender or by fighting U.S. and allied troops in civilian clothes.

This is bizarre and surreal.

Precisely what did the Administration and the Pentagon expect?

Adherance to western rules of conduct?

Were Iraqis - entirely outgunned - actually expected to perish or surrender by US rules?

After a first phase, this war will quickly turn gorilla, and will remain gorilla for the duration of the occupation.

Ain't no rules to dying.
