Alexei Arbatov: Politically the USA is losing the war in Iraq

Moscow, March 25, 2003. (RIA Novosti) - The military campaign of the anti-Iraqi coalition is proceeding more or less according to plan in purely military aspects. Politically, however, the US has already begun to lose the war. This view was expressed at a press conference in Moscow by Alexei Arbatov, Deputy Chariman of the State Duma Defence Committee.

Arbatov said it was too early to jump to hasty conclusions that "the military campaign was faltering, although it would appear to be proceeding slightly less quickly than expected. "In two to three weeks Baghdad, Basrah and the other cities will be taken," he predicted.
