It is. Thanks. But the headline is inexplicable.

What Karbala Gap resistance?

What Karbala Gap resistance?From the context I would think that the resistance referred to is future resistance against the Americans.

Despite reports that American soldiers received a friendly welcome in Najaf Wednesday, Fahs said the Iraqi people will never accept the notion of Americans as liberators. "Did I say 'never'? Sorry, I meant 'Wednesday'"....

We went through the Karbala Gap like $hit through a goose.
Patton would have loved this war.
