| Saddam's deputy: Americans facing defeat in Iraq |
| 2007-07-09 |
 An audiotape said to be of Saddam Hussein's deputy said his group will keep fighting until the last foreign soldier withdraws from Iraq, saying the Americans are being defeated. The audiotape purportedly from Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri was obtained by The Associated Press in Baghdad on Sunday. It was impossible to determine its authenticity, but several Iraqis familiar with Douri's voice said they believed it from his. |

| #1 Likely correct, given the state of support of the American people and Congress. Most unfortunately, such defeat also means defeat for Iraq and its people. AQI won't 'win', nor will al-Douri and the Baathists. The Iranians may - after tanker-loads of bloodshed, if they can survive their own internal dissent. Mainly this is all a two-year-old's tantrum: if he can't have it, he'll smash it so nobody can. |
