U.S. Says Iraqi Police May Have Coordinated Attacks on G.I.s

Sanchez may be correct, but we should avoid a strategy that is 'dictated' by the enemy. The enemy's tactics must be countered by intelligent troops with the right tool kit. We should consistently surprise the enemy, if we can. It's not enough for our soldiers to be on the defensive. We need a smart offense!

``There's no way we're going to put this mission at risk in terms of combat power,'' Sanchez said, explaining the need for the marines, whose normal tasks tend toward invasions, not occupation duties.

``What we're in search of is a very mobile, very flexible, lethal force that can accomplish its mission. Those terms are dictated by the enemy.''
