Bringing Them On

Large part of American public accused Dubya for "reckless macho rhetoric" and "endangering the lives of US servicemen" after his call to Iraqi resistance to try ambushing US troops. His rhetoric might indeed be in poor taste, but at least today it served its purposes. US forces in Iraq would have more than Fourth of July to celebrate today, since they managed to turn the tables on the Iraqi bushwhackers for a change and kill 11 of them. Such efficiency is very rare these days and considering the apparently low level of C&C in Iraqi resistance, it is easy to imagine some of guerrillas being inspired by this dare and getting careless.
