RE:"Writing in Arabic newspapers yesterday, Abu Ghazala said the U.S. had made a serious mistake when it thought it would easily crush Iraq as it did during the 1991 Gulf war and in Afghanistan, where an extensive air campaign quickly ended the ruling Taliban regime.

"There is no doubt that the prolonged Iraqi resistance will rekindle world public opinion against this war, especially in the West...it is also causing the leaders of the United States and Britain to lose their tempers and this could prompt them to commit serious mistakes, like destroying all civilian utilities and killing more civilians," he said.

" This will only lead to an escalation in world public opinion and a resurgence of American memories of their tragedies in Vietnam, Korea, Somalia and Lebanon ... this in turn will put heavy pressure on the Bush administration to quit the Iraqi quagmire.""

This guy is delusional.

1. The coalition rushed in to secure the oil fields.
2. The Iraqi Army hasn't put up much of a fight.
3. The Republican guard is overrated.
4. RE:"Abu Ghazala said the U.S. had made a serious mistake when it thought it would easily crush Iraq as it did during the 1991 Gulf war"...That might have been what the press expected but the government never said that.
5. The coalition could torch Baghdad at any time. Civilians
are a primary concern however. And they should be to a certain extent but not at the result of endangering our troops.
