NO "VICTORY" POSSIBLE ...
"Meanwhile, The Bloodshed Continued Elsewhere In Iraq ..."
The U.S. military honchos on the ground in Iraq think that Sunni
factions ("concerned local citizens") are successfully turning against
the insurgents and fanatics that have killed and maimed so many
thousands of their brethren. They're facing down groups like Al Qaeda
in Iraq and others, we are "informed."
Moreover, the hats say publicly that they believe the "Petraeus
Doctrine' is indeed the ticket to help "win" the Iraq war, or
something.
But just as waring religious sects and insurgents in Iraq have adapted
to changing U.S. military tactics in the past, there is evidence that
these enemy groups are using NEW approaches to counter the CLCs.
And it's a sure bet that the "quiet" and calm in Iraq being bragged
about by your Nincompoop-In-Chief and his war criminal pals and
Republican buddies are but the temporary results of and reaction to
the extra "surge" troops now keeping the lid on in Baghdad.
When troop withdrawals begin, keen observers are certain that Islamic
factional rivalries will resume their internecine blood bathings.
Then what?

"10 U.S.-Backed Fighters Killed in Iraq"
By Amit R. Paley
Washington Post Foreign Service
Friday, November 23, 2007; A27
BAGHDAD, Nov. 22 -- Al-Qaeda in Iraq gunmen disguised as official
security forces killed at least 10 U.S.-backed Sunni fighters on
Thursday, the latest attack on the American effort to form
neighborhood-based armed patrols, Iraqi officials said.
The fighting began in the early morning in Hawr Rajab when about 15
members of the Sunni insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq attacked an
Iraqi army checkpoint, the U.S. military said. The military said the
insurgents used small-arms fire throughout the morning against the
Iraqi soldiers and the U.S.-backed Sunni fighters, known in military
jargon as "concerned local citizens."
The insurgents had dressed up in police uniforms and commandeered
vehicles before the attack, which killed at least 10 of the U.S.-
backed fighters and wounded five Iraqi soldiers, according to an
Interior Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity because
he is not authorized to speak to reporters.
The U.S. military said it called in helicopter gunships to attack a
van transporting insurgents involved in the clashes, killing two
members of al-Qaeda in Iraq and wounding two others. An Air Force F-16
fighter jet later destroyed the van by dropping a 500-pound bomb on
it, the military said.
Meanwhile, the bloodshed continued unabated elsewhere in Iraq. More
than 24 people were killed or found dead in attacks across the
country, the Interior Ministry official said. A series of rockets or
mortar shells slammed into the Green Zone, though the number of
casualties was unclear.
