president Bush on Wednesday for talks dominated by differing views on Zimbabwe and joint approaches to terrorism and trade. South Africas president Mbeki welcome U.S. They are conducted with considerable professionalism There is no indication of centralized command and control nor any indication that Saddam Hussein himself or any other one person is giving orders to these people.īush Visits Africa, Differ on Many Issues These attacks appear to be the work of small groups of men, Bremer said. He concluded that they are carried out by people with military training. Occupation Administrator admitted that he has no indication of who was commanding the attacks. Administration said that the attacks are being committed by Saddam Hussein loyalists. military spokesman said that seven Occupation troops were injured on Tuesday in different attacks in Iraq. But how can they ever achieve this? Their guns are still pointed at the Iraqis and their fingers never leave the triggers.Ī U.S. American soldiers hope to one day walk on the streets of Baghdad without military equipment and armor. Some of them have established relationships with Iraqis, but for ulterior motives. They are paranoid about the possibility of encountering explosives in the homes that they enter, and in the streets they walk. Wherever one looks, an American soldier is searching vehicles or patrolling the streets on foot.
Yet despite all of that, they remain arrogant. American soldiers continue to anticipate more attacks by their enemies. The soldiers constantly lose their way in the streets and alleys of Iraq.
Soldiers fear the worst everywhere they go. They had a severe shortage of water but they were not attacked.
However, in comparison to todays problems they are considered trivial. During the three months they spent in the desert before they entered Baghdad, they encountered many difficulties.

His resignation from Fatah, raises questions: Will Abu Mazen be able to continue as a prime minister? The members of the committee insist that the person who holds this position must be one of them. Abbas insistence on resigning came after some members of the central committee strongly criticized his governments performance, in particular, Abbas handling of the negotiations with Israel. Abbas submitted his resignation from this committee, and he is insisting on his position despite the committees refusal to accept his resignation. Until now, it does not seem like the problem has been resolved. The Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas is in a new predicament with the central committee of the Fatah movement.
