The Dhimmis smell blood. They know Bush plans to reduce the troop
level in the next year anyway, thus they are ramping up so that they
can claim they pressured Bush to withdraw. Sort of reminds me of the
way "Palestinians" act when Israel says it's withdrawing from a
region.

The US military cannot police an insurgency in a foreign country while
trying to win hearts and minds. The US could revert to war mode and
allow soldiers to do the job they're acutally trainied for, ie, to
kill and conquer an enemy.

Things cool down rather fast because of a show of force and the threat
of mass murder, ethnic cleansing, or genocide. If the US had done the
same, things would be much cooler now.
