Good post.

Col John Gronski, the overall United States commander in Ramadi, said there could not be a military solution. "You could spend years putting snipers out and killing IED emplacers and at the political level it would make no difference."

I don't know Col. I know you're on the ground, but just look at the last election, and decreasing casualty rates. Plus, if you kill enough of them (terrorists), two things usually happen: Either the young'ens stop planting IEDs, or you run out off young'ens.

Oh, Col Gronski one other thing. I can't find the word "emplacers" anywhere.
