...harass the U.S. forces and make their stay uncomfortable and costly, but it is unlikely ever to muster the national challenge that confronted the U.S. in Vietnam. And coalition commanders are hoping that the early capture or elimination of Saddam Hussein and other core Baathist leaders will speed the collapse of the resistance...
...combat, policing and civil affairs operations designed to isolate guerrilla forces from the civilian population in which they shelter, and then eliminate them. The remnants of Saddam's regime know they can never muster the firepower to beat an overwhelmingly superior occupying force. Instead they rely on stealth, speed and mobility to carry out hit and run attacks designed to stretch and demoralize their enemy and his supporters, and avoid concentrating their forces which makes them easy pickings for their enemy's vastly superior firepower. If, indeed, the Baathists took heavy losses at a training camp last weekend, the lesson...
...troops went to Iraq expecting to face dug-in Republican Guard units, eliminate them in an awesome display of firepower, and then head for home. They fought their way to Baghdad with lightning speed and efficiency, but instead of heading for home, many of the approximately 140,000 U.S. troops now in Iraq look set to stay awhile. One of the commanders of their British counterparts told a London newspaper last weekend that they'd likely be in Iraq at least four years. American GIs now find themselves peering through a 110-degree haze at an enemy who is essentially...

"If you don't have that, there's no point in doing it." Director F. Gary Gray, whose Italian Job is an update of a 1969 caper, says he strove for "a retro, fresh approach. I wanted to be able to communicate the danger...
...reach something approaching middle age, and after years of alcoholism, Hetfield, 39, says he's not only sober but also serious about making an album that deals with his new adult identity and responsibilities. St. Anger starts promisingly enough with Frantic, which has Hetfield growling over a classic, violent speed-metal riff, "If I could have my wasted days back/Would I use them to get back on track?" But that's pretty much it for the introspection. The rest of the album has Hetfield wailing like an extremely aggravated Cat in the Hat. On Invisible Kid he moans, "Invisible kid/Locked...
