Golf course and barbecue military strategy. Egyptian weekly Al-Ahram has this to say about the quality of the advice the White House has been using to guide its military strategy:As the military operation enters its second week and as the Iraqi resistance continues, a question has arisen in regards to whether some sections of the Iraqi opposition in exile have painted an unrealistic picture of Iraq for their US patrons. Prior to the launch of the military strikes, it was repeatedly suggested in some western media outlets that the Iraqi Shi'ite population in the south and the Kurdish groups in northern Iraq could be helpful to US efforts to topple the Iraqi regime. But one week later, the south did not rise against Saddam, the population remains defiant and the regime is still standing its ground.We previously noted Chalabi in this 3/17/03 article from the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.d):
