Sustained resistance has come only from the elite forces and fedayeen, not Iraq's conscript army, which constitutes three-quarters of the country's total military strength.

Yes, at last someone at the Times realizes that people are getting pissed at their grim negativism. The above is a point I've not heard anywhere but on FoxNews until now. It's correct, though, and an important fact in evaluatiing the attackst that have "destroyed our supply lines", or, using plain English and not Times-speak, have ineffectively harrassed a convoy or two.

Beware, though. The Times doesn't give like this unless it's planning to sink its teeth into Bush at another point.

I could hardly believe my eyes when I read that the source of this column was the Times. However, remember they they haven't been able to sink their teeth into Bush yet.

The people have taken the measure of the man, and they like what they see.

Be Seeing You,

That's a good point. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Then again, the opinion of this author could reflect the reality of a split among liberals. Just one more issue to splinter the Democraps into irreconcilable, increasingly irrelevant and insignicant fragments.
