Bill Sykes' Newsletter
from America.
(May 2004)
An ex-Brit gives his views-(without fear
or favor)---of the American Scene
Question time:
I would like responses from the readership to the following
questions.
1) Will a successful handover of political power, on
the 30th of June 2004, to install a makeshift Iraqi Interim
Government be accomplished.
2) Will the erosion of the Coalition of the "unwilling"
continue and the Coalition finally fall apart.
3) Did the White House and the Pentagon vastly underestimate
the number of troops that would be required to police
Iraq after the victory in the fighting war ended and the
post war period of occupation began.
4) Will the United States stay the course in Iraq, or
will they eventually succumb to increasing American/World
public opinion, and/or demand, and pull out of the fray
when the depleted coalition is not in a viable position
to control the Iraqi political and religious civil war,
that I’m certain will follow the end of the current
occupation.
Note: None of the above questions are intended to be
a reflection on the brave young men and women of the coalition
who are fighting and dying for what may turn out in the
end to be a lost cause.
