#1 Nothing really new here, but this is like Pravda reporting the failure of the Five Year Plan. Note also the absence of any reference to our guys -- and gals-- whipping the snot out of the "resistance."

#2 Matt, eveyone knows that it was the reasonable, soft power of the EU that enticed them to a more enlightened frame of mind. [/sarcasm]

#3 The fact that Al-Guardian is even reporting that maybe the resistence might not be as popular as first thought is cause for celebration. It's like Howard Dean admitting that getting rid of Saddam is not as bad as he thought. By 2008 the Dems (and maybe Al-Guardian) will claim that they invited the idea of Democracy in the Middle East and the Neocons are an impedement to that. I hinge that on a couple of peaceful transitions of power and fair elections.

#4 It's still gonna be ugly, but I think we've won this particular campaign. The PR battle is still fluid.
