Well, I thought it was phoney as hell. I mean, how convenient that what is happening can all be ascribed to "Saddam loyalistsand their pre-existing plans." That way, American occupation can be continued to be justified as holding the threat of Saddam at bay.

Much more comfortable to think that an organized state force is fighting against you than to think that plain old organized folks are fighting against you. It drives them crazy that there's no one to cut a deal with. Like in Seattle. That's all.
