HARD LESSONS: With Saddam behind bars, Iraq is now a test of
counterinsurgency, where you can win battles but still lose the war
By Evan Thomas, Rod Nordland and Christian Caryl
Newsweek
Dec. 29/Jan. 5 issue - Like all American soldiers in Iraq, the men and
women of the Third Squad, First Platoon, B Company, 1/124 Infantry of
the Florida National Guard were elated over the capture of Saddam
Hussein. "It felt like complete victory," wrote one squaddie, Sgt.
Richard Schevis, to his friends and family back home. "It felt like a
connection with our grandfathers arriving in Berlin after fighting the
Germans and finally the Reich falling." Schevis and his mates were
especially happy when the city of Ar Ramadi, a Baathist stronghold,
erupted in what sounded like celebratory gunfire.
