Apparently this guerilla strategy was planned by the Iraqis all along. The heat makes matters worse and the fact that most Iraqis still don't have electricity and running water.
I think the US admin tried to apply the 'Afghanistan Plan' but Iraq is very different, much more civilized; Iraqis are used to a certain standard of living and they will be pissed as long as they don't have these very basic needs met.
