Scenario One (presented by Donald Rumsfeld)
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld promised "robust military action"
to deal with the rise in violence in Iraq in the past week. "There are
those who don't want Iraq to be free," Rumsfeld said at a Pentagon
press briefing Wednesday. "They are trying to stop progress towards
freedom and self-government. We will not allow them to succeed."
[...]
Rumsfeld denied any loss of control in Iraq in response to a question
and took umbrage with the term "pitched battles." He said the number of
opposition fighters were small and not an "army" or even "large
elements," but merely a "mixture of a small number of terrorists, a
small number of militias, coupled with some demonstrations and some
lawlessness."

Scenario Two (presented by News Limited Australia)
THOUSANDS of Sunni and Shiite Muslims forced their way through US
military checkpoints Thursday to ferry food and medical supplies to the
besieged Sunni bastion of Fallujah where US marines are trying to crush
insurgents.
Troops in armoured vehicles tried to stop the convoy of cars and
pedestrians from reaching the town located 50 kilometers west of
Baghdad.
But US forces were overwhelmed as residents of villages west of the
capital came to the convoy's assistance, hurling insults and stones at
the beleaguered troops.
Some 20 kilometers west of Baghdad, a US patrol was attacked just
moments before the Iraqi marchers arrived. Armed insurgents could be
seen dancing around two blazing military vehicles.
Two US Humvees tried to stop the marchers but were forced to drive off
as residents joined the marchers, shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is
greater).
US troops again blocked the highway further west, but were forced to
let the Iraqis past as they came under a hail of stones.
