And they may be more than that. One hears more and more some
version of the theory I first heard from D.L. Cuddy, author of a
book about Iraq called "Cover-Up: Government Spin or Truth?" Cuddy's
notion is that the guerrilla war we're now flailing against is
precisely the war Saddam Hussein intended to fight all along. That,
he argues, is why Hussein offered only token resistance, preferring
to wait for the coalition to disperse into smaller patrols, vulnerable
to hit-and-run assaults. Saddam, in this scenario, doesn't need
victory; he only needs chaos, uncertainty, demoralization -- and the
fervent wish by most Iraqis that the outsiders just go home.Not sure this is I/P, but what the heck.
This war is the war that some of us here predicted that Saddam
would fight some months before the war started. It is and was
the obvious thing to do.
