Fisk Still Confident of Iraqi Victory
Robert Fisk, laughingstock of the blogosphere, source of the verb "to fisk", is just too easy a target. In tomorrow's Arab News he has a column titled "Iraqi Army’s Defenses Seem Impenetrable." He begins:
"The road to the front in central Iraq is a place of fast-moving vehicles, blazing Iraqi anti-aircraft guns, tanks and trucks hidden in palm groves, a train of armored vehicles bombed from the air and hundreds of artillery positions dug into revetments to defend the capital. Anyone who doubts that the Iraqi Army is prepared to defend its capital should take the highway south of Baghdad.
"How, I kept asking myself, could the Americans batter their way through these defenses? For mile after mile they go on, slit trenches, ditches, earthen underground bunkers, palm groves of heavy artillery and truck loads of combat troops in battle fatigues and steel helmets."
There's more. Enjoy it all.
