A new strategy:

Militarize the borders with Iran and Syria. Move American troops into these controlled zones and out of the populated sections of Iraq where the Iraqi security forces will assume the role eliminating/controlling the insurgents.

Make the insurgency wither without its outside support and cut down on the American casualties.

This is all assuming the Dems dont pull the ole 'Cut-n-Run' tactic of losing a war......

I've wondered, after the example of Vietnam, how we could sit in Iraq and openly acknowledge that both Iran and Syria were inflitrating the borders with weapons that are killing American soldiers, and basically, say "thats life".

An aggressive postiure against both Iran and Syria on their borders may have prevented many US (and Iraqi) deaths.

To allow it to continue, unchallanged, after we have proven that a substantial portion of the IEDs and other weapons are coming in from Iran, without aggressive action to stop it......I'm dumbfounded. Vietnam/Laos sancutuary all over again.
