"MISS AND RUN" TACTICS

Troops not impressed much with local aggressors.
Iraqi guerrillas waging low-level attacks on American occupying forces are poorly organised, militarily incompetent
and quick to run, scornful U.S. commanders say.

"The enemy tactics are 'miss and run'," said Colonel James Hickey, whose brigade controls the restive area round Saddam Hussein's home town of Tikrit.

"They're almost running when they pull the trigger."
