In perspective
Wesley Clark, American commander during the Kosovo conflict, puts today's reverses in perspective. "In the early moments of operations, a sense of elation always accompanies the attacker. But now the unopposed dash across the desert is over. Iraqi resistance is stiffening. The marvels of high-tech strikes on Baghdad seem routine, and there is a finite number of militarily significant targets in Baghdad."
