The New York Times has recently acquired a revealing video tape of Saddam Hussein with top military advisors and the than Deputy Prime Minister. Analysts believe the tape was made just a few months before the United States invaded Iraq. The topic of the tape? Low tech weapons. The type of weapons that the insurgency could use against the United States once we invaded. Sling shots, bows and arrows, spikes, sticks, and other weapons that could be used by regular citizens to fend off the Americans.
If Saddam planned the insurgency, that would mean that his strategy is clearly working. Arm regular citizens with low tech weapons and get them to attack Americans any chance they got. Eventually the Americans would leave and Saddam could rise back to power. So that leaves me with a key question, why can't our troops defeat this insurgency? Is it the plan of attack or strategy? Is it the fact that everytime one of soldiers kill someone they are charged with rape or murder? Why don't American commanders and policymakers just take the gloves off and kill our enemies?
