Arab anger limits US battle strategy

Arab allies – including Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia – are
increasingly critical of US plans for attacking Iraq.
By Philip Smucker | Special to The Christian Science Monitor
CAIRO - Arab opposition to a US-led overthrow of Saddam Hussein is
growing so significantly that it may change the shape of potential US
plans to launch an attack against Iraq, Western and Middle Eastern
analysts say.
The idea is so generally abhorrent to leaders and civilians in the
region that the US government will be pressed to sell the operation –
which is still on the drawing boards – not as a US-led operation, but
as an Iraqi opposition-led assault, the observers say.
