Nothing Accomplished: U.S., Iraqi forces mired in stalemate

Though not powerful enough to overrun U.S. positions, insurgents here in the heart of the Sunni Muslim triangle have fought undermanned U.S. and Iraqi forces to a virtual stalemate.

“It’s out of control,” says Army Sgt. 1st Class Britt Ruble, behind the sandbags of an observation post in the capital of Anbar province. “We don’t have control of this ... we just don’t have enough boots on the ground.”

If Iraq looks like South Korea 20 years from now, history will be very kind to Bush.

At this point, it is more likely that Iraq will look like the divided Korean penninsula than just South Korea.
