Even a very small number of vicious men operating in secret will find opportunities to blow up outdoor markets and public buildings, assassinate prominent political figures, and knock down office towers. But public opinion is not on the insurgents side, and the battle of Iraq is no longer one of war fighting but of policing and politics." As always, more complex than the sneering would lead one to believe. Dugger Actually it is an article speculating that we have now won the military war but also says things like:

They show <a href="http://cryptome.org/bkz/buhriz-kill01.htm" rel="nofollow">U.S. soldiers planting weapons in front of Iraqi teens</a>. Yep... we're winning the War on Terror, one unlucky civilian terrorist at a time. Oliver,
