History repeats itself in every nation and everywhere. No country is liberated with a peace treaty signature, this is considered as hypocrisy. But true liberation comes only by giving blood because what is taken by force is returned by force.

Today Bush is giving a speech to the air force officers in Colorado, saying that “this guerilla warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan has made the understanding of victory more complicated“. And he is quite right because the untied states army is not qualified to handle wars in cities or jungles. They are qualified to handle wars on their soil or in the desert. They have lost the war against Vietnam although they have occupied Vietnam but they withdrew after 13 years. Vietnam to the knowledge of the entire world was a bloody nightmare for the Americans, even General Myers confessed saying that every day he dreams of a nightmare seeing the letter “V” with drops of blood falling on him.

They are not qualified for guerilla warfare in cities for a number of reasons, An army in general is trained to maintain peace and defend the country against any attacks. Many of the united states army (mercenaries from Latina America, southeast Asia, Caucasian countries) have been given basic training so they can immediately join the Iraqi war. They have not attended military school, they are mercenaries given promises to be given the green card and the American nationality, and since they have not been trained very well and thrown immediately in an unfamiliar territory that their enemy knows well and perfection; they will obviously lose the battle, but what is making them resist somehow is the high equipment technology weapons they have.

They have lost in Vietnam because they were not familiar with guerilla warfare in jungles because they have not been exposed to training in the jungle, and the same thing has happened; they started recruiting mercenaries in the 70’s and throwing them into Vietnam after promises. The Americans were hunted in Vietnam because the Vietnamese knew their land more than any body else and knew how to make traps and hide. they used the policy of hit and run.

Guerilla warfare has been not only a nightmare but a phobia to the united states army. And only after a high number of causalities and financial losses we hear protests and critics from within the American administration and white house such as Scott Maclilan. Maclilan said that it is the biggest strategic mistake to have a war against Iraq and It was totally unnecessary. But if it were the other way around, no causalities, no financial losses, no military artillery losses, and more monetary benefits from the Iraqi wells, American oil companies are having high cash flow and profit; I would doubt if any one from the white house will criticize or protest against the war against Iraq.

One thing I am sure of, in my personal opinion; the Americans won’t last in Iraq for 8 years ahead. Plus Vietnam would be considered as a picnic. Because in Vietnam you had only locals attacking the united states army. But in Iraq you have many sects plus you have Arabs being smuggled only to attack the united states army in Iraq. Iraq has been a model of personal vendettas because any country or group that are not on good terms with the united states would go to Iraq to settle the accounts.

The withdrawal from Iraq is tied to a number of things in the gulf region such as Iran and the civil war in Iraq that is already knocking the doors but that would be written in an article next week.
