GUERRILLA WAR IN IRAQ "The United States is now clearly involved in a guerrilla war in the Sunni regions of Iraq.  As a result, U.S. forces are engaging in counterinsurgency operations, which historically have  proven most difficult and trying -- for both American forces and American politics. Suppressing a guerrilla operation without alienating the indigenous population represents an extreme challenge to the United States that at this point does not appear avoidable -- and the seriousness of which does not appear to be broadly understood."

SADDAM'S NETWORK ALIVE & WELL "We have many more people and we're a lot better organized than the Americans realize," said Khaled, 29, who gave an hour-long interview yesterday on the condition that only his first name be published. "We have been preparing for this kind of guerrilla war for a long time, and we're much more patient than the Americans.  We have nowhere else to go."
