Fighting insurgencies requires doing what the Turks did... with only a squadron or two they controlled mass populations as Occupiers (which is what the US is in Iraq now). They got the "local notables" and told them look, if you don't get your people YOUR PEOPLE to get off thier asses and find the insurgents who they are hiding and lying to us about then hey there will be escalating punishments all the way up to mass executions, sorry deal with it. And guess what? They got results, and didn't waste good trained valuable soldiers.
INSTEAD we are doing Vietnam Part 2 and letting this insurgency ruin our moral in Irag and walk all over us again, Gutless politicians, brave troops (with thier hands tied). It is pathetic.
You fight wars to win, not maintain corporate rule. Americans should know this it is how WE won over the British.
Maybe Bush doesn't want us to win in Iraq? Pelosi? c'mon people...
Win or send em all home and let it be as Vietnam was, peace with dignity.
