We Had To "Cleanse" The City In Order To Save It
Same country, two different worlds:
One of the basic mistakes the "Coalition" made was misdescribing those who decided to take up arms against the "Coalition" and now the current interim Iraqi government. The resistance is basically from groups that were marginalized and disenfranchised by the political process in Iraq when the United States decided to impose its exile friends from abroad without giving a role to ordinary Iraqis after liberation. -- Sharif Ali bin Hussein, heir to Iraq's long-deposed king
I don't think the resistance is spreading. There are a lot of places in Iraq that have bought into the political process. And they're participating. That's a form of nationalism also. I don't buy the idea that the resistance is nationalistic. Someone may jump up and attack and say that this is for Iraq. That doesn't make it so. -- U.S. Army Brig. Gen. John DeFreitas, deputy chief of staff for intelligence in Baghdad
