The Iraqis are two dimension thinkers. This is four dimensional warfare.

Why do we need to know this? This is war strategy. Saddam's people read this stuff. They won't be fooled again. There goes a brilliant tactic down the toilet.

"Some of these guys must have gone to Fort Benning [Ga.] at one time or another," said Capt. Jason Smith, commander of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion. "The ambushes are right out of the book..."

That's not a pleasant thought. Will we be catching a "Fedayeen Johnny" or two in the days to come?

It will certainly discourage the death squads from holing up in other vacated coalition positions. This could prove advantageous in making the sites more attractive as surrender posts.

If it's on the UPI, then it's not a secret anymore. Plus the people we're fighting think like Democrats. They are stupid enough to fall for it again.
