#1 Many Iraqis also realize that the Americans are not magicians, and cannot protect Iraqis from their own unwillingness to cooperate in the fight against terrorists.

they DO realize it? Id like strategy page so much better if they would at least HINT at sources for their claims. Cmon Jim, you did better than this when you were making games.

#2 I think, the Iraqi pres, the Iraqi Foreign minister, the Iraqi speaker, the iraq prime minister all realize that the attacks could be prevented if the locals cooperated with the multiforce.

One problem is that the Prime minister, who should be a spokesman for his nation has proven to be a weak leader. The other 4 say the right thing a lot of the time but not often enough and they don't have the prestige (except maybe the pres and because he is a Kurd the foreign press and much of the sunni street talk ignores him).

#3 I read from "their own unwillingess" that he was talking about Sunni Arabs. Perhaps I misread, and he is really talking about Kurdish and Shiite Iraqi pols - but then its hardly news, I think.
