CENTCOM: News Release

2:55:10 PM    Permission To Speak Freely []


"The next question is what the mullahs are going to do with them. FOX News has this report."

"Trent steps into a debate between Vlahos & Pournelle. We are not seeing new patterns evolve here, he says. We are seeing old American military cultural memes and patterns re-emerge. The strength of the Vlahos column is that he's starting to ask some of the right questions about adapting the structure of the American military to an age of small wars."

"Three senior members of the coalition military and civilian authorities in Iraq offered no quick fixes Saturday to ongoing security and power concerns in the country. The officials, speaking to the media on condition their names not be used, insisted that both situations are getting better. But they admitted there’s still improvement to be made."

Saddam Hussein in particular, and the Baath Party he led in general, were quite good at playing the local and Western media. Now out of power, captured documents and prisoner interrogations make it clear that Baath had a "worst case" plan. If Baath lost power, the Sunni Arabs who comprise most of the Baath Party, would engage in economic sabotage to increase popular unrest. Attacks on coalition troops, encouraged by cash bounties, would encourage the coalition to engage in reprisal measures that would further increase hatred for the foreigners.

"When we step back, the broader picture of the U.S.-al Qaeda war becomes clearer. It appears to us that both sides are gearing up for a summer offensive. Each, for its own reasons, is going to try to engage in operations in a series of theaters, including in the United States. This does not mean the offensives will be successful. It does mean we can expect complex action from both sides on a broad geographic scale. These need not be individual large-scale operations, but collectively they will constitute significant attempts to get an advantage in the war."
