Change in resistance tactic?
In the last few days I was very busy, so I couldn`t post. Now I`m back with an analysis about the current situation in Iraq:

The average of attacks against US- targets has downed since the begin of June. Until now, "only" 26 "coalition" forces were killed. But it is not as the US- command could take this on their own account, because obviously the focus of the resistance has changed to the so called "caretaker government" and to "contractors".

The resistance killed the iraqi vice- deputy of state and another high ranking official of the department of culture. They also targeted the oil industry and nearly stopped the export by blowing up the pipe to the Basrah oil terminal and the lines from Kirkuk to the Turky ports. This will cost the "government" up to 600 Million Dollars until the damage is repaired. And there is no chance to protect the pipelines adequately because they are to long and there is to less personal to do the task.

On Monday, a suicide bomber killed 16 people, 5 of them "contractors" (aka soldiers of fortune)who should build up the shattered energy system of Baghdad. After the attack, a crowd of angry young Iraqis destroyed the cars of the "contractors" and shouted slogans like "America is the enemy of god!".

I guess the violence against the puppet regime will increase in the lasting two weeks before the "power transfer" (what a bogus!) will take place. Today, a big car bomb killed at least 30 people waiting in front of an "Iraqi defense force" recruiting center in Baghdad. The situation will worsen in the coming months and I predict that a second "Ramadan offensive" (this years Ramadan: 15 October to 13 November) will be able to push the "caretaker government" out of their fortified palaces.

There will be no improvement until the american occupants leave Iraq and allow a REALLY open election that can provide legitimacy to a sovereign iraqi government.
