Another inhabitant of Planet Fox.
The bulk of the resistance is coming from Baathists - you know - the 
secular ones that originally didn't like AQ or Islamists.
And as for soldiers drugging themselves up, well, the US military is no 
stranger to that practice.
As for the rest of your crap post - it was a waste of space.
I cannot believe how naive and gullible you actually are. It's people 
like you who start wars because they consider the 'enemy' to be someone 
to be sneered at and beaten into submission and then lose it due to 
underestimation of same enemy. A typical American.

No doubt we'll see the last US choppers out of Baghdad flying with the 
remnants of the Provisional Government hanging off the skids.
Remember the US mantras - 'Peace with Honor', and for good measure try 
parroting 'We Do Not Negotiate With Terrorists'
Bush is preparing to cut and run.
