One has good cause to be skeptical. The plans of this administration have failed miserably so far, and will continue to fail. The reason? YOU CANNOT WIN A GUERILLA WAR WITH SUPERIOR MILITARY STRENGTH AND TECHNOLOGY.
Look at the truth about Iraq:
Baghdad families imprisoned, divided by fear
By Claudia Parsons Sun Jan 14, 11:00 AM ET
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - For Abu Mina, a ceramic artist and professor, Baghdad is one big jail -- too dangerous for him to live with his wife and daughters, too dangerous for him to meet his students openly, too dangerous to work in his studio.
He and his son, a 21-year-old medical student, recently left the family home for fear of sectarian attacks, dividing his family as the city itself has become increasingly divided.
It is just this sort of private tragedy that
President Bush must help end with his new strategy for securing Baghdad with more troops.
"They kill just boys and men," Abu Mina said of sectarian gunmen. "They leave girls and women. Yesterday my wife gave me a call and she told me my neighbor, a dentist, they took him.
"That means in two days they will find him outside Baghdad without life. They kill everybody. So I left my wife and my two girls and I brought with me just my son," said Abu Mina, who studied in the United States.
