Bush Says Iraq Attacks Don't Rise to Level of Major Combat

I say this is worse... at least during major combat you can seek out the enemy and destroy him on the battlefield but the current situation is that the US army faces a guerilla style war. Hit and run type of attacks. In the long run this is far more dangerous for troop moral. The troops never know when they'll face the next attack. It could happen anytime, anyplace... The enemy can be the man who shook your hand not one hour ago...
Throughout all this we see that the US army isn't wanted there by the locals. The perceprion of us Americans has changed from liberators to occupiers.
Mr. Bush, you might have won the war but you're losing the peace...
