I don't recall announcing any crisis here or elsewhere. Rather, I try to point to objective and subjective weaknesses in the enemy camp that open up spaces for political organizing.

Insurgency and counter-insurgency in Iraq is something of a new phenomenon. Insurgency is divided into numerous small political currents, none of which can claim political leadership over the majority of Iraqis. Counter-insurgency is also hobbled by lack of manpower, caused by Americans' reluctance to resume the draft. That's a situation that is difficult to resolve in favor of either side. -- Yoshie
