On Tuesday the U.S. military admitted that the Iraqi resistance has doubled its number of daily attacks since April. Meanwhile U.S. officials are publicly admitting they do not have enough troops in Iraq to handle the resistance. Maj. John Wilwerding — of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment — said the U.S. has far too few troops in northwestern Iraq — a region spanning about 10,000 square miles. He said “Resources are everything in combat … there’s no way 400 people can cover that much ground.”
