"Iraqi officials are warning that Iraq will create a "new Vietnam" for American forces by forcing them to fight in cities. Senior Iraqi officials are telling Western visitors that "[we will] let our streets be our jungles; let our buildings be our swamps.

"The aim is to draw US troops into urban warfare to "kill enough Americans to send them home," said one such visitor, who asked not to named. Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz vowed "a fierce war during which the United States will suffer losses they have never sustained for decades."

The question should now be asked. Who is winning the battle for Iraq? The Americans, or the Iraqi insurgency?

The battle we are fighting now is essentially the battle Saddam promised. And frankly, they are winning. The hope of building a lasting democracy in Iraq seems remote as of today.

This week US News & World Report this week says this guerilla war was planned by Saddam all along.
