Obviously, no. The Art of War does not decree that sending more and more troops into the war zone will garauntee you success. What the administration is lacking is strategy, education to the region, influence, allies, and really a will to get out. We will not win if we are deciding to stay there, which seems to be the case. Whether militarily or not, we have set the standard that Iraq is America's new province. As long as there are people with guns who oppose that, the war will not be successful.

It is possible this "surge" in troops could have been avoided if people like you wouldn't have been constantly screaming to bring the troops home since they hit Baghdad. All of our enemies saw the possibility of another Vietnam where the weak-kneed press and liberals would freak and want out because they saw that war meant sacrifice.
Good job. I hope your proud of the way you stand up for your country. I know you believe you're doing what is right, but you aren't seeing the big picture. I hope you catch on someday.

The thought is that more troops will show committment and dominance thus scaring the terrorist into submission. This is totally contrary to how terrorism works. We are not fighting Iraq anymore. We are fighting terrorist. The terrorist will continue to cause mayhem and destruction regardless of troop size. More troops just means more casualties. You do not win a war by being defensive. You have to be offensive. However, with the rules of terrorist engagements, you have no exact target or entity to attach. You have to fight based on their rules. You have to use intelligence. You have to infiltrate and destroy from within. You have to keep continuous pressure on the insergents. They have to feel hunted which will put them on the defensive. Then you have to kill them all.
