Veteran war reporter Peter Arnett was interviewed by Iraqi TV on Sunday. His comments will definitely not be viewed favourably by the coalition side. He thinks that the original US war plan has failed due to the unexpected resistance of the Iraqis. He even said: "Iraqi friends tell me there is a growing sense of nationalism and resistance to what the United States and Britain is doing."

This will definitely knock a couple of dents into the US's claim that Iraqis will welcome US and British troops as liberating forces.
