Rebels fight U.S. to Iraq standoff
Insurgents in Al- Anbar province, the center of guerrilla resistance in Iraq, have fought the U.S. military to a stalemate.
After repeated major combat offensives in Al-Fallujah and Ar-Ramadi, and after losing hundreds of soldiers and Marines in Al-Anbar during the past two years -- including 75 since June 1 -- many American officers and enlisted men assigned to Al-Anbar have stopped talking about winning a military victory in Iraq's Sunni Muslim heartland.
It seems to me that "Murphy's law" reigns supreme in Iraq. We continue to underestimate the enemy and we shoot ourselves in the foot over and over again. This administration bears sole blame for this fiasco and they sure as hell better not try to blame the military, the media, or the Ameican people.
