Iraqi Resistance; What Iraqi Resistance?

Comment by Tony Sayegh

At least for the time being it appears that the Iraqi resistance is just about finished, judging by US casualties. Just look at the very recent trend:

In April of this year US fatalities were 52; in May 19 and in June 29. So far in 11 days in July the total is 5 (probably of vehicle accidents).

To gain perspective, in the period of April through June of last year US fatalities averaged over 110 per month.

I hate to admit it but the US strategy of using the Iraqis to slaughter each other has been a great success. Let us see if the US will try to replicate this strategy in Iran. I doubt that it will succeed there as it succeeded in Iraq.

What a great disappointment those Iraqis turned out to be.
