U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on June 27 continued to deny that the United States was facing an organized guerrilla war in Iraq, making a series of arguments that classed the actions as essentially non-military in nature --criminals and desperados, rather than troops. If Rumsfeld actually means what he is saying, which we find hard to believe, that means the United States is not planning a military response -- a counter-insurgency campaign -- against the attackers, since there is no insurgency to counter. If we are to take Rumsfeld at his word, the U.S. has no military strategy unfolding.

Analysis

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced June 27 that whatever was happening in Iraq did not rise to the level of guerrilla warfare. He claimed that a string of recent attacks against U.S. military personnel was not coordinated by any centralized command or person; instead, he described the guerrilla movement as consisting of small elements of 10-20 men, and said there were no large formations involved.

When asked whether the assailants were guerrillas, Rumsfeld replied, "I don't know that I would use that word."
