The problem we have in Iraq, is that Iraq has not yet been defeated, Sudamn was over thrown, but the Iraqis did not come out and fight, now there are comming out to fight and they must be defeated. There is no other way, if the USA wants to build a new Iraq then the old Iraq has to be defeated.
I am surprised the neocons at DOD don't get it, this is a war, a real war. Either fight to win or leave.
It's been disappointing to see the Iraqi people not take up the fight for their own cause in bigger numbers.
I understand that years of living in tyranny and fear make their mindset different than we can really comprehend, but unless they are willing to risk their own lives, they will find little support from the me.
