O Balanço

John Keegan faz um balanço da situação no Iraque e conclui se nos limitarmos aos factos o panorama não é tão negro como a imprensa e determinados comentadores nos querem fazer crer. Muito pelo contrário...

In a conventional military environment, not so heavily influenced by the surveillance of the media, any commanding general might reckon the campaign had made highly satisfactory progress so far. It has secured most of the territory and facilities over which it needs to operate, has a secure base, has acquired its own resupply port, dominates the enemy and is not threatened by large-scale civilian disorder
