Exactly.

The Coalition did not finish the Iraq war before trying to move to a political settlement. Now, the Coalition forces are facing growing opposition from more than just the old Saddam supporters.

The Coalition may still have 'to finish that war' before a new government will succeed.

The USA is not doing enough to crack down on terrorism in Iraq. Old fools are sending our young men to die, and still give the terrorists free reign, and this is just not going to work. These young men are dying for some fools political correctness. We need to really mean business or get out. We can do if if we have the will, but it will not be pretty.
