With the Resistance running, can U.S. keep up?

WASHINGTON -- U.S. commanders in Iraq say the resistance is on the run. The problem is that when they're chased from one place, like Fallujah, they pop up in another, to deadly effect. It happened in Mosul this week and in Baqubah -- with car bombings and attacks on police stations -- as well as in Ramadi, a provincial capital just west of Fallujah. The scope of violence in those places is far smaller than in Fallujah, but it demonstrates that the overwhelming technology and firepower of the U.S. military has not broken the back of the insurgency.
