#2 FULL ATTACK mode indeed! "War!", "Kamikazes alert!", "Calls to holy war", "The failures of a blitzkrieg", "The murderous urban warfare", "War's desolation", "Iraqi resistance", "Marines stall", "Beware, boobytrapped war", "Iraq, Somalia, same script?" "Good morning iraq!", "A new Viet nam?", "The traps of an insane war", "War or dhijad?", "How saddam prepare himself for the battle", "Saddam up to the challenge", "The shiite south doesn't weaken", "How saddam endures", "Why the war goes on", "The hawks in the storm", "Americans and britons caught in a long and bloody conflict", "Saddam's stand", "Britons worry about Us methods", "Saddam's gauntlet", "Bagdad's battles", "The castastroph", "The sinking", "The quagmire", "The tragedy", "How Bush's war sets the whole world on fire", "The Bush sect attacks", "Bush's holy war", "Georges Bush's fault", "The fall" (Titles from the mainstream french press, in a chronological order 03/20/03 - 04/10/03, casually compiled by AndrÃ© Glucksmann for his book); NOT the more expressive! The one that stick to my mind is a tabloid's frontpage, with a tired-looking Us soldier pic (always the choice for illustrating quagmire), and a splashing "Bush's insane crusade!".
