>>>President George W. Bush and his advisors, for all the native cynicism of politicians, have proven extraordinarily naive -- naive enough, in fact, to believe their own propaganda about the Iraqi people's dream of being occupied by the U.S. Army. As a result, Bush and his team did more in the first two weeks of the war to bolster Hussein's regime than the dictator's own secret police and the Baath party had in the previous 20 years. Every soldier and civilian that dies, and every building that is destroyed in a bombing raid, only strengthens Hussein's grip on power.

And yet the biggest sensation of the Iraqi war may still lie ahead. In the Western press, no one has even entertained the thought that the United States could lose this war. Even Washington's critics haven't mustered the nerve to mention this possibility. After all, the U.S. military has never lost a war. But the current administration has shown itself to be so incompetent that it's ability to win the war is in doubt. A competent administration in Washington would never have started this war in the first place.<<<
