Scott Rosenberg seems to understand more about FourGw than the Penta Gon, re taking Fallujah (War On Iraq). At what point will our leaders get their heads around the simple fact that our enemies here have no back to break?
Update: William Lind makes the same point. U.S. forces have taken Falluja. Were we fighting a war in the Spanish Netherlands in the 17th century, and were Falluja the fortress city of Breda, the victory might mean something. Caught up as we actually are in a Fourth Generation war in Iraq, the event is almost meaningless. Most of the guerillas fled before we attacked, as guerillas are supposed to do ("When the enemy attacks, we retreat.") U.S. forces are finding few dead resistance fighters; the 1,200 to 1,600 "body count" the American command is claiming will prove as phony as those in Vietnam. Meanwhile, the resistance is hitting us elsewhere. When U.S. forces leave Falluja, they will return there too. And the U.S. military has again destroyed the village in order to save it, giving its enemies a victory at the moral level. Will we ever learn?
Dec21 update by William Lind comparing [Fallu Jah] to [Stalin Grad].
