[Vision2020] Attacks Not From Saddam Loyalists?

[Ted Moffett]

Visionaries:

Five US troops now killed in attacks since Saddam's sons killed.

The spin we get from the Bush administration is that Saddam loyalists are 
the source of the attacks against US troops.  Of course the Bush 
administration wants to make what really is an ongoing war, though Bush 
declared the major combat phase over, seem to be about the evil Saddam 
regime, not a war against the Iraq people who are not accepting our plans to 
bring "democracy" to Iraq.

But what about forces in Iraq who just do not want their country or clan or 
the home of their religious faith occupied by a foreign power?  Or what 
about Iraq people who are simply out for revenge after their mother, 
grandfather, daughter, son, or wife etc. were killed by an American attack?  
I also have gathered that the home invasions US troops carry out to search 
for weapons or suspects are particularly intense violations of honor for men 
in Iraq, especially when their women are "exposed," as it were, to the 
troops invading their homes.

Iraq.
