re: Occasional hit and run attacks aren't an offensive, let alone a sustained one.

~50 attacks a day is sustained. Taking land (although they do control parts of Iraq) is not a prerequisite to being offensive.

It's sustained. It's offensive.

We can argue semantics forever but you are just wrong.

re: In any case the battle here, esp. in the long term, isn't between the insurgents and the US but rather between the insurgents and the Iraqi government.

Right now the battle is with our troops. It's yet to be seen if Iraq can build an army/police force that is capable. South Vietnam never could, and we had a lot more years.
