IRAQI RESISTANCE

straitstimes: Guerilla warfare in Iraq?
CAMP BOOM (Iraq) - Insurgents fired a rocket- propelled grenade at a
military vehicle in the restive town of Fallujah yesterday. 'The first clear message is this
war is not over, it's not ended. All of us in uniform are targets. We're
subjectto being engaged.' - A senior US military official in Iraq.

The incident occurred as US military officials were talking
openly for the first time about the possibility of having to wage a
long-term battle to quell Iraqi resistance to the American presence.
The Pentagon might prefer not to use the term 'guerilla warfare' but
judging from descriptions given, that is precisely what US troops are facing in
Iraq.

The words of Paul Bremer, Washington's overlord in Iraq, need no
"sexing up". "We are going to fight them and impose our will on them and we
will capture or... kill them until we have imposed law and order on this
country," he declared at the weekend. "We dominate the scene and we
will continue to impose our will on this country." Neither General Dyer at
Amritsar nor General Westmoreland in Vietnam could have put it any
clearer. Welcome to the new colonialism. Bremer's words are not just bluster. US
forces are now engaged in massive search-and-destroy sweeps in central
and northern Iraq against forces opposing their rule.
