IS THE "SURGE" AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY?
These "successes" are reconciling with many of those very same insurgents who were killing our soldiers with IEDs and ambushes - and allying against the hard core jihadi types. It's finally a more practical approach, but how long do you think this new detente will last?
Iraq is a very complex and fluid place. The last four years have shown that we are incredibly out of our depth there. These Anbar successes happen while we have lose over 100 soldiers this month in fatalities. They happen knowing full well we do not the force necessarily to pacify. We don't choose the terms of engagement, they do.
All we're doing is letting other people cash the checks of this administration's mouthpieces. A shame...a disgusting shame.
