So far, I've only seen one happy Iraqi--the gent who assisted a US soldier tearing down a poster of Saddam, this on the first day of the tank charge through the desert.

Where on record is it noted that the vast majority of Iraqis asked to be "liberated?"

Perhaps the more telling sign are the millions of Arabs who've marched in the streets in opposition to this war. You don't think the Iraqi people share this same Arab sentiment? Or do you somehow believe they are Iraqi Arabs are Arabs of a different kind?

Fact is, Arabs don't like US-occupation. It was the US troops stationed in Saudi Arabia that helped to spawn Al Qaeda in larger numbers. Just imagine how Al Qaeda will grow from the current Bush's campaign of US-occupied Arab territories. Indeed, the very best thing Bush could have done to aide and abet Osama bin Ladin is exactly what Bush did. And--pardon me, while I clear my voice--that's not good for you, it's not good for me--it's not good for anyone!

The White House planning has been shown faulty and has been completely decimated on several fronts. The only place where it has succeeded is its public relations in America where it knows full well how to beef up polling numbers.

The original plan was for an easy capture of Basra, then film the flower-giving happy Iraqis each wanting from their liberators candy and their very own P-3 can opener. Once this was on film, then it would be used for inside-Iraq propaganda in order to induce surrender of the Baghdadians. But they forgot one very important fact: the happy Iraqis aren't Americans!
