Terror Group Seen as Back Inside Iraq
Let's recapitulate this "Keystone Kop" routine.
First, it's welcoming flowers. Second, it's Baathist "dead enders". Third, is ... a combination of "hundreds of Islamic militants who fled Iraq during the war have returned" and "fighters from Ansar al-Islam".
If your ideology precludes you from realizing who you are fighting, your chances of winning are nil. Surely, there is a Baathist component and it would not surprise me if Ansar al-Islam is involved. But wake up guys. If every Baathist and Ansar al-Islam cell was eliminated, do you really believe the opposition would cease? Unfortunately, I guess you do.
You make enemies when for a decade you deprive a people of the necessities of life. You make enemies when you call for them to rise against a dictator, only to watch them be slaughtered. You make enemies when you roll your armor through a country killing women and children. You make enemies when you proclaim yourself as liberator, but the people lives are a hellish anarchy. And you've got more enemies than you can count, when the most respected Imams have, as a result of your actions, called for a worldwide jihad.
But to acknowledge all that would call into question your original premise - Iraq as the first step toward hegemony. So, deep in denial and blinded by the hegemonic dream, you ensnare yourself ever deeper into the Tar Baby.
