It was still ex Baathists who were spearheading the resistance. This has been proved by the sighting of many resistance fighters dressed in Fayeden clothing the uniform of Baath party loyalists. The Baath pary Repubilican Guard are also know to be behind the resistance as well. So are Al Qaeda who have been responsible for suicide bombing attacks on US and British troops. Osama bin Laden also gave the order at the start of the war back in March for Islamic militants to wage holy war on the US and UK invasion forces in Iraq.

How do you know that those people in uniform are leading it? Because you read that in the Evening Standard? The best intelligence experts on Iraq from the British and US govt who are living out there are having trouble working out who's leading it: do you have some special secret source? Maybe you should let MI6 know.

And please explain about this "Fayeden clothing": is that like in Mohammed al-Fayed? They bought it from Harrods, is that what you're saying? :-)

The Speaker of truth obviously has his head stuck down a hole or up Bush and Bliar's arse...

The capture of Saddam will give a massive boost to the resistance because

a) It removes the fear that supporting the resistance could restore Saddam to power.
b) It removes one more American justification for staying in Iraq.
c) The bulk of the resistance are Iraq's who opposed Saddam.

Yet the repeated assertions of US infantry commanders, especially those based around Mosul and Tikrit, that most of their attackers are Iraqi rather than foreign, show that the American military command in Iraq - at least at the divisional level - knows the truth.

Yesterday, for example, a sergeant in the 1st Armoured Division on checkpoint duty in Baghdad explained the situation to The Independent in remarkably blunt words. "We're not going to go home any sooner because of Saddam's getting caught," he said. "We all came to search for weapons of mass destruction and attention has now been diverted from that. The arrest of Saddam is meaningless. We still don't know why we came here."

There are groups aplenty with enthusiasm to attack the Americans but who never had any love for Saddam. One example is the Unification Front for the Liberation of Iraq, which was anti-Saddam but has now called on its supporters to fight the American occupation. In all, The Independent has identified 12 separate guerrilla groups, all loosely in touch with each other through tribal connections, but only one could be identified as comprising Saddam loyalists or Baathists.

In many areas, men identifying themselves as resistors have openly boasted that they are joining the new American-paid police forces in order to earn money, gain experience with weapons and gather intelligence on their American military "allies".
