http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0310/S00252.htmBUSH: "I would assume that they're

FACT: "There are a growing number of interviews with Iraqi resistance fighters that establish that many, perhaps most, of them are not Ba'athists and not foreigners. One interviewed in the San Francisco Chronicle said that he took up arms after the Fallujah massacre, in which U.S. troops fired into a crowd of peaceful demonstrators, killing 15," said Rahul Mahajan, author of the book "Full Spectrum Dominance: U.S. Power in Iraq and Beyond." http://www.rahulmahajan.com>
