Iraq’s constitutional quagmire shows Bush plan in shambles
For some time now it has been the strategy of the Bush administration to wage relentless war against the anti-occupation Iraqi resistance fighters while simultaneously trying to establish a stable puppet regime through a so-called “democratic,” U.S.-orchestrated constitutional, parliamentary process. It is a strategy calculated to isolate and erode the resistance. At the present juncture, the opposite has happened. The resistance is more powerful and widespread than ever. According to the Pentagon, insurgents launch 65 or more attacks on U.S. forces every day. Even by Pentagon accounts, it is more sophisticated and effective. Everyone associated with the occupation is at risk. No official or businessman can travel anywhere without being flanked by heavy security. Numerous military operations have been carried out in cities and towns to “clean out” the resistance. And after each operation, including the devastation of Falluja, the liberation forces re-emerge to strike at the occupation.
