We will soon know if a Tet 2004 is planned.

Can you imagine being deployed in that Iraqi summer furnace? That alone is enough to wipe you out. I am sure the terrorist types will give it their all. If the crowd in Fallujah tries something big, the media reaction will be massive.

Hello, UW, I think things might be even more promising than this:

The Iraqi church (mosque) leadership is the only authority right now in a few difficult areas and they are lined up, presently, against continued abuse by the Iraqi dissidents. If Iraqi citizens accept and support these leaders' guidance, Iraq will be secure soon

Tribal leadership is also getting on the other side of dissidents.
